Matthias, I'm pretty sure that the v6 RL driver supports RL01s and RL02s, the only difference is number of sectors on the RL01. If you have an RL02 disk image mounted on /dev/rl0, and an empty RL01-sized disk image mounted on /dev/rl1, you should be able to say: $ mkfs /dev/rl1 $ mount /dev/rl1 /mnt You can then copy over the root files from /dev/rl0 to /dev/rl1 with tar. One thing to note, the RL02 kernel comes with swap at the end of the RL02. You will need to rebuild a kernel so that the location and size of the swap will fit onto a RL01 and still leave some file space. In fact, you must remember to subtract the swap space size when you do the mkfs. Best to do this on the emulator and get the RL01 image ready before moving it to the /34. I also forgot to mention that you need to install the bootstrap code onto the RL01 image. Check the mkfs man page for details. > The last step would be to download the image over the serial > line.

V6 predates the RL02 by enough time that I doubt V6 has RL0? support unless someone managed to graft it on after ~1979 (by which time V7 was out). V7 _initially_ did *not* have RL02 support. When we got our first V7 tape in 1979 a RL02 driver was written locally in ~79 or 80. So unless someone added the RL0? support to V7 and submitted the updated images to the archives it's doubtful RL devices can be used with V7. 2.9BSD came with the necessary drivers because that system came a couple years later than V7 and the folks at UCB had had time to write the drivers and boot support. > One thing to note, the RL02 kernel comes with swap at the end of the > RL02.
