<pre>
 +
The following files and information are presented as an historical record only.  They should never be used for any commerical projects!
 +
 +
Digital Standard Mumps for the PDP11 (DSM-11) is an operating system, programming language, and database all rolled together.
 +
 +
It was used extensively in the UK in the health service and also in financial back-office systems.
 +
 +
See the downloads page for individual files.
 +
 +
Copying original DEC tapes for use with simh
 +
 +
(These notes are more of a reminder for myself than anything else!)
 +
As an example, these notes apply to copying a DSM-11 SYSTO tape. DSM-11 was DEC's version of MUMPS for the PDP11. The tape I have is V3.3.
 +
I have a DEC TSV07 tape drives with a single ended SCSI interface connected to a SUN SPARC Server running Solaris 10.
 +
 +
The SUN Server 'sees' the tape drive as /dev/rmt/0c and as /dev/rmt/0cn (the no-rewind option).
 +
Use 'export TAPE=/dev/rmt/0c ' to avoid having to specify it all the time to the mt command.
 +
 +
mt rew - will rewind the tape
 +
mt offline - will rewind and unload the tape
 +
 +
tcopy /dev/rmt/0cn > file_name is a useful command to investigate what is on the tape. Use /dev/rmt/0cn - the n option avoids rewinding the tape each time. Keep repeating the command as you work through the tape.
 +
 +
dd if=/dev/rmt/0c of=image_file_name bs=40960 The default block size is 512, but specifying a much bigger size will make sure we get it all.
 +
The most useful program is found here: http://inwap.com/pdp10/usenet/timage.c
 +
 +
No real idea about c or gcc on Solaris, but this worked...
 +
 +
bash-3.00# gcc -o timage timage.c
 +
bash-3.00# ./timage
 +
Usage: timage from-nrmt to-file
 +
 +
bash-3.00# ./timage /dev/rmt/0cn dsm_image
 +
256 records, blocksize 512
 +
36 records, blocksize 1024
 +
877 records, blocksize 1024
 +

Booting DSM-11...
 +
DSM-11 Version 3.3
 +
Now running the baseline system.
 +
 +
Begin DSM-11 Version 3.3 system installation
 +
 +
Answer with a question mark (?) any time you wish more information.
 +
 +
 +
Please enter today's date [ DD-MMM-YY ] ? > 28-SEP-98
 +
 +
and time [ HH:MM:SS ] ? > 11:42
 +
 +
Install DSM-11 on which disk unit ? > ?
 +
Possible units are: DK0 (RK05 unit 0)
 +
DK1 (RK05 unit 1)
 +
DK2 (RK05 unit 2)
 +
DK3 (RK05 unit 3)
 +
DK4 (RK05 unit 4)
 +
DK5 (RK05 unit 5)
 +
DK6 (RK05 unit 6)
 +
DK7 (RK05 unit 7)
 +
DL0 (RL01 unit 0)
 +
DL1 (RL01 unit 1)
 +
DL2 (RL01 unit 2)
 +
DL3 (RL01 unit 3)
 +
DM0 (RK06 unit 0)
 +
DM1 (RK06 unit 1)
 +
DM2 (RK06 unit 2)
 +
DM3 (RK06 unit 3)
 +
DM4 (RK06 unit 4)
 +
DM5 (RK06 unit 5)
 +
DM6 (RK06 unit 6)
 +
DM7 (RK06 unit 7)
 +
DR0 (RM03 unit 0)
 +
DR1 (RM03 unit 1)
 +
DR2 (RM03 unit 2)
 +
DR3 (RM03 unit 3)
 +
DR4 (RM03 unit 4)
 +
DR5 (RM03 unit 5)
 +
DR6 (RM03 unit 6)
 +
DR7 (RM03 unit 7)
 +
DU0 (RD54 unit 0)
 +
DU1 (RD54 unit 1)
 +
DU2 (RD54 unit 2)
 +
 +
Type the 2-character controller type, and the unit number, like this:
 +
"DK0" for RK05 unit 0, or "^" to go back.
 +
 +
Install DSM-11 on which disk unit ? > DL0
 +
Do you wish to run a comprehensive test for bad blocks
 +
on this disk ? [Y/N] > Y
 +
 +
Test pattern 177777 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
 +
Test pattern 125252 octal ? [Y/N] >
 +
 +
Each test consists of writing a test pattern on the entire disk, then
 +
verifying that it can be read back without errors. Any block which
 +
gives errors (even recoverable errors) will automatically be entered
 +
in the bad-block table on the disk, and will not be used by DSM11.
 +
If you answer 'Y', you will be able to choose, optionally, one or more
 +
of the following test patterns:
 +
177777 octal (all one bits)
 +
125252 octal (alternating one and zero bits)
 +
052525 octal (alternating zero and one bits)
 +
000000 octal (all zero bits)
 +
 +
Test pattern 177777 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
 +
Test pattern 125252 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
 +
Test pattern 052525 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
 +
Test pattern 000000 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
 +
 +
(You may hit the "ESC" key at any time to determine the number of
 +
blocks processed so far)
 +
 +
11:42:27 Begin test pattern 177777
 +
 +
11:42:28 Begin test pattern 125252
 +
 +
11:42:30 Begin test pattern 052525
 +
 +
11:42:31 Begin test pattern 000000
 +
 +
11:42:34 Testing complete
 +
 +
 +
RL01 Unit 0 Bad Block Table
 +
 +
The Bad Block Table is empty
 +
 +
Do you know of any other bad blocks on this disk ? [Y/N] > N
 +
 +
What would you like the new label of this disk to be ?
 +
(up to 22 characters, enclosed in quotes) ? > DSM11
 +
Like this: "THE NEW LABEL"
 +
What would you like the new label of this disk to be ?
 +
(up to 22 characters, enclosed in quotes) ? > "DSM-11"
 +
 +
What 3-character uppercase name do you wish to give this volume set ? SYS

DSM-11

The following files and information are presented as an historical record only.  They should never be used for any commerical projects!

Digital Standard Mumps for the PDP11 (DSM-11) is an operating system, programming language, and database all rolled together.

It was used extensively in the UK in the health service and also in financial back-office systems.

See the downloads page for individual files.

Copying original DEC tapes for use with simh

(These notes are more of a reminder for myself than anything else!)
As an example, these notes apply to copying a DSM-11 SYSTO tape. DSM-11 was DEC's version of MUMPS for the PDP11. The tape I have is V3.3.
I have a DEC TSV07 tape drives with a single ended SCSI interface connected to a SUN SPARC Server running Solaris 10.
 
The SUN Server 'sees' the tape drive as /dev/rmt/0c and as /dev/rmt/0cn (the no-rewind option).
Use 'export TAPE=/dev/rmt/0c ' to avoid having to specify it all the time to the mt command.
 
mt rew - will rewind the tape
mt offline - will rewind and unload the tape
 
tcopy /dev/rmt/0cn > file_name is a useful command to investigate what is on the tape. Use /dev/rmt/0cn - the n option avoids rewinding the tape each time. Keep repeating the command as you work through the tape.
 
dd if=/dev/rmt/0c of=image_file_name bs=40960 The default block size is 512, but specifying a much bigger size will make sure we get it all.
The most useful program is found here: http://inwap.com/pdp10/usenet/timage.c
 
No real idea about c or gcc on Solaris, but this worked...
 
bash-3.00# gcc -o timage timage.c
bash-3.00# ./timage
Usage: timage from-nrmt to-file
 
bash-3.00# ./timage /dev/rmt/0cn dsm_image
256 records, blocksize 512
36 records, blocksize 1024
877 records, blocksize 1024

Booting DSM-11...
DSM-11 Version 3.3
Now running the baseline system.
 
Begin DSM-11 Version 3.3 system installation
 
Answer with a question mark (?) any time you wish more information.
 
 
Please enter today's date [ DD-MMM-YY ] ? > 28-SEP-98
 
and time [ HH:MM:SS ] ? > 11:42
 
Install DSM-11 on which disk unit ? > ?
Possible units are: DK0 (RK05 unit 0)
DK1 (RK05 unit 1)
DK2 (RK05 unit 2)
DK3 (RK05 unit 3)
DK4 (RK05 unit 4)
DK5 (RK05 unit 5)
DK6 (RK05 unit 6)
DK7 (RK05 unit 7)
DL0 (RL01 unit 0)
DL1 (RL01 unit 1)
DL2 (RL01 unit 2)
DL3 (RL01 unit 3)
DM0 (RK06 unit 0)
DM1 (RK06 unit 1)
DM2 (RK06 unit 2)
DM3 (RK06 unit 3)
DM4 (RK06 unit 4)
DM5 (RK06 unit 5)
DM6 (RK06 unit 6)
DM7 (RK06 unit 7)
DR0 (RM03 unit 0)
DR1 (RM03 unit 1)
DR2 (RM03 unit 2)
DR3 (RM03 unit 3)
DR4 (RM03 unit 4)
DR5 (RM03 unit 5)
DR6 (RM03 unit 6)
DR7 (RM03 unit 7)
DU0 (RD54 unit 0)
DU1 (RD54 unit 1)
DU2 (RD54 unit 2)
 
Type the 2-character controller type, and the unit number, like this:
"DK0" for RK05 unit 0, or "^" to go back.
 
Install DSM-11 on which disk unit ? > DL0
Do you wish to run a comprehensive test for bad blocks
on this disk ? [Y/N] > Y
 
Test pattern 177777 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
Test pattern 125252 octal ? [Y/N] >
 
Each test consists of writing a test pattern on the entire disk, then
verifying that it can be read back without errors. Any block which
gives errors (even recoverable errors) will automatically be entered
in the bad-block table on the disk, and will not be used by DSM11.
If you answer 'Y', you will be able to choose, optionally, one or more
of the following test patterns:
177777 octal (all one bits)
125252 octal (alternating one and zero bits)
052525 octal (alternating zero and one bits)
000000 octal (all zero bits)
 
Test pattern 177777 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
Test pattern 125252 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
Test pattern 052525 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
Test pattern 000000 octal ? [Y/N] > Y
 
(You may hit the "ESC" key at any time to determine the number of
blocks processed so far)
 
11:42:27 Begin test pattern 177777
 
11:42:28 Begin test pattern 125252
 
11:42:30 Begin test pattern 052525
 
11:42:31 Begin test pattern 000000
 
11:42:34 Testing complete
 
 
RL01 Unit 0 Bad Block Table
 
The Bad Block Table is empty
 
Do you know of any other bad blocks on this disk ? [Y/N] > N
 
What would you like the new label of this disk to be ?
(up to 22 characters, enclosed in quotes) ? > DSM11
Like this: "THE NEW LABEL"
What would you like the new label of this disk to be ?
(up to 22 characters, enclosed in quotes) ? > "DSM-11"
 
What 3-character uppercase name do you wish to give this volume set ? SYS
Now initializing DL0 for use as DSM-11 volume...
