Running

on

the

8560

PDP11-UNIX

software

with

the

following

characteristics

will,

without

any

change,

run

on

the

8560:

1.

Able to

run

on

UNIX

version 7

2. Able

to

run

in 64K

bytes

without

overlays

3. Able to

run

in

common

instruction

&

data

(I &

D)

space

Note:

PDP-11

has

either

separate

I & D (eg

11/70)

or

common

I & D (eg 11/23);

Much

UNIX

Software

can

be

generated

to

run

in

either.

Installing

on

the

8560

To

install

software

on

the

8560, note these

media

specs:

File

Formats

Vendors

must

supply

8560

SW

in one

of

the

following

formats.

tar:

same

format

as lTNIX v7;

Auxiliary

Utilities

Package

is

required

to

read

tar

diskettes.

fbr:

TNIX

only,

documented

in 8560

System

Ref

Manual;

MDP

offers fbr source

to

vendors

who

want

to

ship

this

format.

dsc50:

TNIX

only,

for 8550 transfers,

internally

documented

only;

may

be

useful if

customer

has

8550.

others:

RT-11,

ISIS,

CP/M

and

Motorola

formats

can

be

read

using unreleased

utilities

available

from

your

local

Tektronix

Application

Engineer.

Use

only

single-sided, single-density

diskettes.

Sectors

There

is

no

interleaving

and

no

skewing

of

the

sectors

on

an

8560

diskette.

Some

vendors

floppy con-

trollers can be

programmed

for no

interleave/skew.

Otherwise

the

diskette

read

utilities

(eg for isis,

cpm)

read

the

data

as is

then

reorder

the

sectors.

Diskettes

Formating

the

disks

first on

an

8560 increase

probability

of

success.

The

physical

format

of

the

diskette

is:

•

IBM-Compatible

diskettes,

soft

sectored

• Single or double sided, single or double density

•

track

0, side 0 is 128

bytes/sector,

FM-encoded,

always

single

density

•

track

0, side 1 is 256

bytes/sector,

:MFM-encoded

•

tracks

1-76

both

sides

are

256

bytes

each

sector

•

TNIX

treats

2S-2D

diskettes

as 1995

512-byte

blocks;

1S-1D

diskettes

as 500

512-byte

blocks
