Cool. Where do I get a BA11 4 slot box? It sounds like just what I
need. Anyone have one they'd like to sell (or trade for an 11/23 and
RX02 drive)?

Thats what the doctor ordered. I have one here, 11/23, 256k, 2serial
in a BA11BV 4 slot box and a TU58 (the boxed version). Two drives
256k per drive and slower than slow (tape seeks take forever). A
very compact PDP-11. I also have one, ba11 with 11/23, 32kW ram 2
serial
and a RQDX3 that allows a hard disk and floppy. Thats fairly compact
too.

You could make it look like a TU-58, which is a block structured
device. So RT11 should treat that like a disk.
