Subject: Re: Simulated disk drive for RT-11?
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.
