Hey, excellent!<br>
<br>
May I suggest that after installing DECnet, you might want to install TCP/IP? ;-)<br>

The 128k thing is physical memory, which is sonething else than size<br>
of the disk. There is an option in simh in the config to explicitly<br>
tell how large disk you want. Check the documentation.<br>
<br>
Use a disk of at least 1g, and we can move on to the next problem,<br>
which is going to be the number of file headers on the disk, unless<br>
you read that manual I gave the link to.<br>
<br>
Easy howto pages on the internet are nice, but sooner or later you<br>
need to read the docs and understand what you are doing.<br>

I tried running every size disk imaginable and I still get the<br>
same error and it still states 128KW. The small disk I tried<br>
was 159MB. BTW, that prebuilt system also had the same error and<br>
128KW again and it was a approx 10MB Massbus disk running on a<br>
11/45.Could this be a bug? I am following everything to a T.<br></div>
Should I try a non-plus sysgen to see if I get the same error?____<br>

This means that the disk you are running from (DU0:)<br>
does not<br>
have enough free space for RSX to allocate a checkpoint<br></div>
file.____<div class="quoted-text"><br>
<br>
<br>
Ah! Yes, of course. Thanks for that, Alan. Didn't even think<br>
about the possibility that the disk would be that small,<br>
since he was using MSCP.<br>
<br>
Ray, start over, and create disk image files that are<br></div>
larger.____<div class="quoted-text"><br>
<br>
Start over and tell SIMH to make DU0: (rq0) larger. I<br>
would<br>
suggest at least 32 MB if you plan to do anything useful<br>
with<br>
the system. Don't go above 500 MB, however, as the<br>
ODS-1 disk<br></div>
structures can't handle anything that large.____<div class="quoted-text"><br>
<br>
<br>
No, ODS-1 handles larger disks fine. The limit is 8G. If you<br>
go above that, there is no harm, but the disk will just be<br>
truncated to 8G anyway, so no point in going larger.<br>
I would suggest something around 2G or so, and you're set<br>
for life.<br>
(Personally I run with four 8G drives, but then again, I'm<br>
not exactly normal when it comes to RSX...)<br>
