PDP-11/35 To-Do List

Building a system from this PDP-11/35 is a project riddled with dependencies, not least of all making space for all the equipment! I'm trying to maintain this list in order to keep track of what needs doing, and what needs to be done in order to do it.

#	Description	Unmet Dependencies	Completed
1	Run XXDP+ Diagnostics on CPU and RK05 (and later on TE16). An RK05 with XXDP+ on it came with the machine so, assuming it works, I just need to hook up an RK05 drive to run diagnostics.	2 (and 7)	-
2	Install RK11 controller and RK05 drive(s). Just need to sort out a power harness for the controller first.	-	-
3	Set up serial console. The supplied M7800 supports RS-232, but I need to make a cable to hook it up.	-	02/08/2008
4	Install/run UNIX operating system. Due to a lack of a supported tape drive or tape images of the software this will have to be done by transfering a disk image to an RK05 pack with VTServer.	2,6	-
5	Create Unix disk image for PDP-11/35. The disk images found on the Internet are built for the 11/45, so this must be modified by rebuilding the kernel.	-	04/08/2008
6	Locate and install EIS and LTC modules. These are processor options which are required to be able to run Unix. The first provides the Extended Instruction Set and the latter a clock interrupt.	-	-
7	Install RH11 Massbus controller and TE16 tape drive. This should be simple enough, but I need to make some space for the drive first.	-	-
