While looking for something for another member, I stumbled across these. It appears to be a set of Micro pdp-11 diagnostic disks - two user and four tech, on 5.25" floppy.

The disks are labelled:
BL-T540D-MC CZUFDD0 MICRO PDP-11 USER TSTS (there are two of these)
BL-T541D-MC CZXD1D0 FIELD SERVICE TESTS 1
BL-T542D-MC CZXD2D0 FIELD SERVICE TESTS 2
BL-T565D-MC CZXD3D0 FIELD SERVICE TESTS 3
BL-T583D-MC CZXD4D0 FIELD SERVICE TESTS 4

And all are (c) 1984 Digital Equipment Corp.

Googling didn't bring up any archived copies. Are these something that might be worth archiving, or are they common and widely available?

Always good to archive this stuff in case no one else has already done so.

I have a different set on RX-50 disks that I have archived:

BL-GLTAS-MC CZUF1S0 M-11 CUST RX50 A (c) 1989
BL-GLWAT-MC CZUF2T0 M-11 CUST RX50 B (c) 1989
BL-FN7AP-MC CZFNAP0 M-11 FORMTR RX50 (c) 1990

I should also scan the disk labels sometime when I get around to that. I'd upload the disk images here but they are too big for an attachment here.

OK, I guess I'd better get my thumb out and find a 1.2MB FDD to hook up to the XP box that I keep for testing older equipment. Great! Another project!

I found a few other interesting things in the box with those floppies:
A Compaq branded OpenVMS Freeware V4.0 CD-ROM, with the documentation CD-ROM
Corel WordPerfect 7 for OpenVMS VAX Character Terminals
Reflection 2 - PC connectivity to Digital and UNIX hosts
BPTerm for PC, 360kB floppy
DECNet on 5.25" and 3.5" floppy
Xerox 6085 Offline Diagnostics 1.1, 5.25" floppy
mbp Visual COBOL for PC-DOS, 4x 5.25" floppies.

Looks like I never uploaded those disk images here. The file attachment size is larger now that it was 6 years ago. Those disk image are now attached here.

I thought I would download these and give them a spin on my PDP-11/53 - here's how it went (spoiler alert - it went well!)

I'm using my GOTEK as the "floppy drive", so I needed to convert the .DSK files from logical to physical format, using a utility provided by forum member gslick called "rx50-log2phy".

CZFNAP0.DSK - boots into a menu for formatting various disks using either RQDX1RQDX2 or RQDX3 disk controllers
CZUF1S0.DSK - boots into a menu to examine the system and configure a test suite for validating that system. In the configuration program, this disk is referred to as "A".
CZUF2T0.DSK - contains resources used by the test configuration program. In the configuration program, this disk is referred to as "B"

When configuring a test suite using the CZUFn?? disks, you may be asked to swap between "A" and "B" a number of times as it builds a specific test suite. Once I got the test suite appropriately configured, it ran the tests and reported the comforting message that my system has no errors.

Thanks for posting these!

Regards, Jon.

Thanks for the update that you were able to get those diag images to work for you.

The funny thing about you needing to convert the .DSK files from logical to physical format is that my work flow here must have been to first create the ImageDisk .IMD disk images by reading the physical floppy disks, then use IMDU /B to create physical format plain binary image files from the .IMD image files, and then use that rx50-log2phy utility to transform those physical format plain binary image files into those logical format .DSK file so I could use them as logical disk files with SIMH.

I should have also included those intermediate physical format plain binary image files in case anyone needed those too.
 
I can contribute User Tests #1 in Image Disk Format. (C)1985 so probably a newer version than posted above?

Is anybody familiar with these test? My 11/23+ starts the disk (the image above) but the test that should take 10mins runs for more then 2h after I have interrupted....

Update... I stripped down my 11/53 to just the CPU (KDJ11-D/S with 1.5MB), two 1MB memory modules, and the RQDX3 disk controller. I have no problem booting from the image, and the identification option indicates that it sees FPP capability. Running the test, however, brings no joy. After starting the test, it halts to ODT. If I restart with the "P" command, it appears to continue to run, prints out a message about what it is going to test, prints the CPU test header, then seems to get caught in an endless loop.

However, the V18.0 version, found on disks CZFU1S0 and CZFU2T0 seem to work correctly and do a more thorough identification of system configuration.

Cheers, Jon.
