Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me get an old pdp 11/23 working with some rl01 and rl02 disk drives?
Please respond if you can.
Thanks,
Stephen Bragg

AFAIR it boots from RT-11. I downloaded a copy years ago and haven't
looked since.

Hi Dan
I had no intentions of destroying anything. I even have hopes
of getting a H-11 one of these days. I was just going to run
a cable from my MDS-800 ( that only uses external drives )
because I need drives that will do double density. The H-27
has what I need, a box, a power supply and drives. It would
stay a H-27.
What kind of animal do you think I am?

Dan,
I think I've rescued the drives. I have an H-27 that is using a Shugart
drive as a replacement for a bad Memorex. I hope to pick the drives up
around X-Mas. I've sent Bill a non-refundable "storgae fee" (read bribe) to
keep them until then. The H-27 doesn't include the controller (needed!), so
I'm not sure the drives would be of much use to you. I plan on keeping them
as a spare to my H-27, but if you ever find a controller, let me know, and
if I haven't need to use the second set, I'd let you have them just to get 1
more H-27 up!

Hi Bill
I would vary much like to have the H11 floppy ( actually to use
on my MDS-800, Intel developement system ). I don't think the drives
care what machine I use. Anyway, I'm in California but I have friends
in Austin. Can you let me know your address and I'll contact
someone there that should be able to pick up the drives.

If it makes a difference, I say yes to this option also, well
assuming it's possible.
