For this RetroChallenge I plan to write a multiplayer game that will run on an emulated PDP 11\/70.<\/p>\n
The first computer I ever used or worked on was a PDP 11\/70 in High School. The main operating system when I had access to it was RSTS\/E. The version back then was V06B and later V06C. I have had a fascination with the system ever since. Over the years I have run emulations of the PDP 11\/70 under SimH and recently under Ersatz-11. The closest version of RSTS\/E I have been able to setup is V7.0-07, so that is the version I will use.<\/p>\n
On past RetroChallenges, I have seen some that in addition to following along reading the blog posts, it would be interesting to get hands on as well.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, I have set up separate accounts in my emulated system to store my work and make it available to play with as I go along. The emulated system can be reached with telnet at: puff dot mooo dot com at port 4000. Once you connect you can log in with the account number 17,4 and password of RC. I’ll post a recipe above shortly showing how to get around in RSTS\/E.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
