11/45 is alive (I'm singing "who's johnny")

[Jay West]

The /45 lives, got a console up with the console emulator today. I never did 
get a blinking lights program to show up right, but I'm too embarassed to 
admit what likely caused that. But I got a lot of other few instruction 
programs to work correctly so I moved on to the DL11 and 9312 setup and got 
it all working. Only have 8K of core, but hey, it's a start. Once I get it 
to boot from a peripheral I'll take out the loaned cpu set and move mine 
back in and see where it chokes.

So now I have a few peripheral questions. I was going to put in an RL02 
drive, but I've been advised against putting one in the same cabinet as the 
cpu cab is top cooling intake :\ Now I'm moving on instead to hooking up and 
testing a LincTape II and a DSD440 drive. I found the docs for the DSD440 
drive on bitsavers; my drive is missing the controller to drive cable. From 
those docs it appears to be a straight through 2x13 pin berg connector at 
each end. Can anyone confirm this? Also, If the DSD440 drive is set for 
RX01, will it work with the standard dec boot rom (DX) on the 9312? 
Likewise, if it's set for RX02 emulation will it work with the DY boot room 
on the 9312? Or does the DSD440 need a unique bootrom?

I also have the LincTape II & controller (&cable), model CO-3000D. However, 
I don't see any docs for it on bitsavers and my googling gives tons of stuff 
on the Linc, not the LincTape II. Does anyone have docs for the LincTape II 
in electronic format? Or better yet... a boot rom for it :>

I have spare boot roms (DP, RP02/03 and DM, RK06/07) that I doubt I'll ever 
use and would be available for trade.

Thanks!
