I am assembling a PDP-11/84 and am wondering what OS I should install. I will probably a CMD disk controller with SCSI disks emulating RA81s, so disk space will not be a problem. It will have 1MB or 2MB of RAM depending on which boards I can find. I have a DEUNA Ethernet board set that I can install. I will install an RL02 for a removable disk. There is lots of room in the chassis for more controllers.
I was thinking of RSTS/E, Ultrix-11, or V2.11 UNIX. The plan is to build a disk image using SIMH and then transfer the disk image over a serial port. Using SIMH seems simpler than trying to get a TU80 working and making an installation tape.
