This all looks fine but as you are using an old version of Simh you will
need to add 'set rq1 rx33' to your ini file. The rq1 device will not
automatically adjust to the size of the image like it does in newer
versions. Also the CS device is called RX in the older version.

If you start from the heading 'Setting up the VAX-11/782' and ignore
anything relating to the ma0 and ma1 devices then the instructions on my
website should work just fine for a standard VAX-11/780 up to the point
where is says 'The installation of VAX/VMS is now complete'.
