I add 

 

To attach games disk

Add to boot.ini in /opt/pidp11/systems/rsts7

Attach rk0 rk05-games-rsts0-0.dsk

 In that directory I have placed rk05-games-rsts0-0.dsk

then I get this

sim> attach rk0 rk05-games-rsts0-0.dsk
sim> cont

mount dk0:games

?PROCESS ERROR IN MOUNT - Disk does not have RSTS File-Structure
  back to sim and 

sim> detach rk0
sim> attach rk0 /media/cmarbach/CBM1 rk05
RK: creating new file
sim> show rk05
RK5     1247KW, not attached, write enabled
sim> show rk0
RK0     1247KW, attached to /media/cmarbach/CBM1 rk05, write enabled
sim> cont 


the "new file" is blank and I have two files of rk05-games-rsts0-0.dsk, one o fhwch is2.4 MB and the  other very small.


back to RSTS and


run utilty
UTILTY  V7.0-07E        RSTS V7.0-07 llama
#dk0:
Unrecognized Command - DK0:
Type 'HELP' for Help
#mount dk0:games
?Pack IDs don't match - in MOUNT 


I am confused! Help (again!)

How did you fetch the disk image?

And no, if you create a new disk image, it is not automatically created
with a RSTS/E file system on it.

I reloaded the RK05-GAMES-RSTS0-0.DSK
 And it all works!
I can now use my VT420, on RSTS and I have the Games disk!

Thanks for your patience

Carl
