Thanks, Jay! I did that and TSX-Plus Version 5.0 started right up.
It executes several small .com files and then put up a big splash
screen on the VT220 for "DBL/RT11/TSX by mumble mumble
Corporation" or something like that, but freezes halfway through
it and won't do anything until reboot.
Now I just need to download a TSX+ manual and figure out how to
remove/modify the startup files.
Is this disk something the list is interested in, or is it easy to
find a working TSX image elsewhere? (Regardless, I'm going to
preserve the disk since it's another OS to play with).

The biggest problem, IMHO, of plexiglass is that static buildup
attracts
dust to the case :-).
That said, there are anti-static sprays and "static-dissipative" and
"anti-static" acrylic sheets available if you're worried about either
ESD damage or just all the dust!
I don't think it's sold by Rohm directly so you might want to use
"acrylic" rather than "Plexiglas" in google searches. McMaster-Carr
is a great place to get the stuff if you don't have a local plastic
shop that stocks it. (I used to have a really really good platic
shop in my neighborhood, but it got bought out by a national
chain and now the retail side sucks rocks.)

Any idea what to do about this? What can be the reason, bad memory,
bad planar or CPU?

I just decided to attack a micro-11 system I had not attendded to.
Good news is it's pristine and complete:
BA23, 11/23BH, 512k (M8057), DEQNA, RQDX2(late firmware).
The RD52 has RXS11 and boots.
It's been a long time since I used RSX and longer since
I've administered it. So some procedures for doing things
I need to know or a pointer to.
TO shut down I do?
TO change admin password how, and which account again?
If I add a 8line mux (DHV or DZV) what the procedure to get
system to install and recognise it.
On line DOCs to refresh memory from?
I'm most comfortable with VMS, Ultrix and RT-11 but never
bothered with RSX for a home system.

Hi All,
I have a PDP-11/45 and the frontpanel unfortunately has 2 spots
where the matt finish is gone. Is there a way to make those
2 areas to look original again?
Thanks,
Ed

That works.

It's "run $acntres" on this beastie. However any attempt to modify
the accounts or add accounts causes a illegal instruction trap and
return to prompt.
Could it be the files are protected? I did insure the disk write
protect was disabled and working.

Fortunately when the system boots the startup.cmd also logs in account
7,21.

Very helpful, save for Acrobat say the files are corrupt for any of the more
useful ones and crashes for manuals over 25MB.
I'm not sure anything useful other than a "Pregen"ned system is on
the disk as I havent found any languages.

Can someone point me to somewhere I can find bootable disk images for
MS/PC DOS 1.x? I found vetusware.com, but the quality is spotty and
frequently uses obscure compression programs.

While looking for something else (ain't that always the way of it? :-) I came
across this box...
Apparently an Olicom OC2132, it's a microchannel ethernet adapter. This is
in the original box, and there's some software and documentation in there as
well. I looked at the card and there are AUI and RJ45 connectors and some
LED indicators on the metal bracket.
I have no microchannel hardware, having divested myself of the last of it a
while back, and no plans to get into any in the forseeable future.
If you can use this, feel free to drop me a line offlist, and make me an
offer.

While playing with my 11/23+, on one of my spare RL02 packs, I
found some interesting files. The disk has 982 files (lots off
.XSB extensions, whatever those are) and perhaps more
interestingly the following: TSKMON.NEW, TSKMON.SAV, TSX.NEW,
TSX.SAV, TSXMOD.NEW, TSXSPL.TSX, TSXSWP.TSX, TSXUCL.SAV.
Now I know nothing about TSX but do those filenames sound like it
might be that operating system? I tried to boot from the pack but
instead it came up in RT11SJ. What have I got here?
thanks
Charles
