Available: tool to write disk images to PDP-11

[Warren Toomey]

Ok,
	I debugged the thing yesterday, it works well. If you want to write
a PDP-11 disk image to a real PDP-11, you might like to look in:

	ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/pub/PDP-11/Vtserver

and at the file zcat.README there.

Current disk and tapes supported:

hp: RP04, RP05 and RP06 disks.
rp: RP03 disks.
rk: RK05 disks.
rl: RL01 and RL02 disks.
ht: TU16 or TE16 tape drive.
tm: TU10 tape drive.
vt: The Virtual Tape drive.

You can download from any tape to any disk. The Virtual Tape drive allows
you to download the image over a KL11 at 9,600 baud. Any type of disk image
can be downloaded, not just Unix ones.

You will need compress(1). And a bit of patience.

Let's hope someone tries this out!

Ciao,
	Warren

P.S I plan on migrating to the 2.11BSD standalone stuff, which supports
more tape drives and disk drives. Sometime.
