Hello,

I'm trying to download Johnny's RSX-11-M-PLUS disk image, but the mim.stupi.net address just times out. Is there anywhere else that this can be downloaded from.

Thanks in advance
Ed

ftp://ftp.dfupdate.se:/pub/pdp11/rsx/pidp

On MIM you would only find the tape image for the RSX virtual tape device.

Thanks very much Johnny.

One small question, what type of disk is it?

Thanks again

It's an MSCP disk at 1G. If you check that directory, you have both
this, along with also a tape image so you can install this easily on
other size/types of disks.

See http://mim.stupi.net/pidp.htm for more information (gah! I hope
people who need it still can access that site).

FTR, http://mim.stupi.net/pidp.htm

is still inaccessible (it times out). For both HTTP and FTP.

Unfortunately not. But I'll figure it out.

Thanks

May I ask why it ended up blocked? (and weirdly, not for everybody?)
And what's the problem with making it available again?

You can ask, but I don't have any answers... :-)
I need Peter Lothberg for that, and I've been unable to raise him for
the last six months...
