Using 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.

ATTACH TM0 lemon.tap
SET TM0 LOCKED

I set the tape as write locked (SET TM0 LOCKED) to protect the tape image file.

Then mount the tape on the drive for RSTS/E with: (To switch back to RSTS/E 9.2 use CONT)


$ MOUNT _MT0: LEMON
%Device is write protected
Density is 800
Tape is in ANSI format
$

Then you can copy the file or files off the tape:


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

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

DETACH TM0
