+[PDPjs](/devices/pdp11/machine/) support continues to improve:
+
+- Functional [Front Panels](/devices/pdp11/panel/1170/#front-panel-basics) (see the demo below)
+- ROMs such as DEC's [M9312 ROMs](/devices/pdp11/rom/M9312/) can now be installed
+- Support for DEC's [RL11 Disk Controller](/devices/pdp11/rl11/) has now been implemented
+
+To test RL11 support below, start the machine (click "Run"), then select the "XXDP Diagnostics" disk from the
+"Disk Drive Controls", click "Load", and wait for the message:
+
+	Mounted disk "XXDP Diagnostics" in drive RL0
+
+to appear.  Then check the output window and make sure the following prompt has been displayed:
+
+	PDP-11 MONITOR V1.0
+	
+	BOOT> 
+
+At the prompt, type "BOOT RL0".  The following text should appear:
+
+	CHMDLD0 XXDP+ DL MONITOR
+	BOOTED VIA UNIT 0
+	28K UNIBUS SYSTEM
+	
+	ENTER DATE (DD-MMM-YY): 
+
+	RESTART ADDR: 152010
+	THIS IS XXDP+.  TYPE "H" OR "H/L" FOR HELP.
+	
+	.
