How about this?
Does anyone have any PDP11 RK05s that they would
like to swap me for some of the PDP8 RK05s?
I smell a trade brewing (I hope).

The question lurking in my mind, though, is are the 'F' cartridges different
Can RK05s that were used on a PDP-8 be used on
a PDP-11? It seems that I read something about
the sectoring being different.

You are correct. The sectioning is different. 16 sector for the
PDP-8 versus 12 sector for the PDP-11. If you have a bunch of 16
sector PDP-8 cartridges that you can't use, I'd be willing to take
them off your hands. from the 'J' cartridges? (I have a couple of
RK05F drives that I'd like to
convert to PDP-8 use.)
