 +The ''ksfefs'' misinterpreted the RIB pointer to ''FEFILE.SYS'' [200000,,14] as [xwd 65536,14] and wiped out the RIn and ''tito00.sav''.  Edited REFSTR.MAC to return [xwd 64,^D<3*95> to point to the 64 pages on cylinder 3.

 +
 +At this point, ''boot rp'' loads BOOTS, which defaults to ''(SYS)SYSTEM.SAV'', but that dies with ''IME'' stopcode.
 +
 +===== Copying MON14.SAV to the disk =====
 +
 +Since we don't have KERMIT or other file transfer program on TYMCOM-X, do it with ''FILDDT''.  Two caveats: 1) (SYS)FILDDT does not allow patching of data files, but (MPL)FILDDT does.  2) Patching a zero length file goes only so far before dying with an Address Check.  Since the current (SYS)SYSTEM.SAV is unuseable, patch it instead.
 +
 +On TOPS-10, start a Receive ASCII operation and display the whole monitor in octal.

 +Edit the saved text to remove the first lines, and change "/" to "!".  The text file is 1.8 Mbytes in size.
