Creating SIMH PDP 11 Tape Image Files under RSTS/E 9.2

First set up the tape image file in SIMH (To switch to SIMH use ^E)

-->Special note:  Remember some file systems are case sensitive.
-->               I use lower case for the file names for linux and windows.

SET TM ENABLED
SET TM0 FORMAT=SIMH
ATTACH TM0 lemon.tap

The file lemon.tap does not exist until the attach command.

Once RSTS/E is booted I initialize the tape with: (To switch back to RSTS/E 9.2 use CONT)
 
$ INITIALIZE/FORMAT=ANSI _MT0: LEMON
Density will be 800
Any existing files on the tape will be deleted
Proceed (Y or N)?   Y
$

After I initialize the tape I mount the tape on the drive for RSTS/E with:


$ MOUNT _MT0: LEMON
Density is 800
Tape is in ANSI format
$

Then it is time to copy the file or files to the tape with:


$ PIP _MT0:*.BAS=[1,3]LEMON.BAS
$

Now I dismount the tape:


$ DISMOUNT _MT0:
$ 

You now have a SIMH Tape image file.

Last you want to remove the tape image file from SIMH (To switch to SIMH use ^E)

DETACH TM0
