Hello Wolfgang,
Thank you -- that helped quite a bit. Your assumptions about my system were all correct, except I have real unibus memory in the system, not simiulated with unibone,
so the "m i" command returns
Disable memory emulation, size physical memory ...
Found physical memory in full range 0..757776, no emulation necessary!
The reason my speed remained zero was that I had not enabled the rl controller (en rl). I was able to manually execute successfully alll the commands in the script, then start the rom monitor from the 9312, then boot DL0 (or start from 10000, same thing) and LED0 blinks repeatedly on the Unibone, I believe indicating activity on RL0. and a green light on my memory board blinks at the same rate, but I get no output on the pdp-11 console. On the Unibone console I have
[05:31:53.463980 Inf rl0] Spin up drive speed = 1710
[05:31:53.564368 Inf rl0] Spin up drive speed = 1800
[05:31:53.664803 Inf rl0] Spin up drive speed = 1890
[05:31:53.765242 Inf rl0] Spin up drive speed = 1980

This goes on however long I wait, but once when I stopped things, I got on the pdp-11 console,
?MON-F-System read failure halt
which looks a little like an RT11 prompt. Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Richard
