Old Unibus PDP-11 XXDP diagnostics

[Ashley Carder]

Does anyone have any info/documentation on the XXDP diagnostics for older PDP-11 systems and peripherals? I'm looking in particular for the 11/40 (11/35), RK05, DZ11, RL02, MM11 core memory, RX01, RL01 diagnostics.  I have found some info on Henk's site, but would like to know if anyone has a comprehensive list and hints on how to run these, what the output means, how to answer the prompts, etc.

I have created RL02 packs with XXDP 2.5 and XXDP 2.2 and I can boot and run stuff from these packs.  It appears that the 11/40 diagnostics are on XXDP 2.2, but not on XXDP 2.5.  I have an old 1976 DEC field rep troubleshooting guide that refers to various MAINDECs, which seem to have been the diagnostics prior to XXDP.  Is there a list somewhere showing what the XXDP equivalents of the old MAINDECs are?

Any help would be appreciated.  I want to exercise my 11/40 and attached peripherals and see if any subtle gremlins are lurking anywhere within.  Everything appears to be working perfectly with the exception of one of my three RK05 drives that I knew was problematic.
