Unix onto my new PDP-11

[Matthias Bruestle]

Mahlzeit



I have here a PDP-11 which was used in a X-ray-"defractometer".
There was no Boot-disks or documentation.

Hardware:
	3HE-19"-case (with a label VAXstation 3200) with an on/off-switch
		and 6 buttons.
	5,25"-FDD
	3,5"-HDD (probably ST-506-type)
		Fujitsu   Model M2227D2
		Type B03B-4815-B104A#B
	On the side to the disk/floppy there are unused connectors:
		Fixed Disk 0 (2 con.)
		Fixed Disk 1 (2 con.)
		Removable Disk 1&2 (1 con.)
	It has 3 modules:
		quad-size from Mentec with 4 connectors (serial ports)
		quad-size from MDB with 4 unused connectors
		dual-size from Dilog (connected to disk and floppy)

Software:
	It is installed RT-11FB V5.04D.
	The output from resorc/a is:

RT-11FB (S) V05.04 D
Booted from DU0:RT11FB

USR   is set SWAP
EXIT  is set SWAP
KMON  is set NOIND
TT    is set QUIET
ERROR is set ERROR
SL    is set OFF
EDIT  is set EDIT
KMON nesting depth is 3

-------------------------------------------------------------

I got somehow a M70>-Prompt (after a @-Prompt) and booted it with DU<Return>.

Can I make somehow a bootable floppy-backup?
Is it supported by V7 or another UNIX?
How big is the harddisk?
What device/size is the floppy? DK? 
Is it possible to read/write these floppies with a PC?
Is it possible to make UNIX-boot/install-floppies with an emulator
and install with the UNIX on this PDP-11?
What did I forget to ask?




Thanks
