I am absolutely AMAZED that it took this long for anyone to suggest this.
The PC-DOS based TU58 emulator works like a champ, and the PUTR program
for managing media images is an excellent companion.

Get everything you need here:

http://www.fpns.net/willy/pdp11/

The emulator executable is in:

http://www.fpns.net/willy/pdp11/rt11arc.exe

The documentation is here:

Get PUTR (and it's documenation) here:

http://www.dbit.com/pub/putr/

And if you'd like to own putr.com, it's only $2,999:

http://putr.com/

Though I'm not sure why a stupid sounding URL would be useful to anyone at
any price.

Let me know if you need any assistance bringing this up.
