I'm looking for a drive for my PDP-8 but I
don't want something the
weight and size of a RK-05. I also have several DSD-440 drives available
to
me. Does anyone know if these can be used on the
PDP-8 or have any
experience with them? Does anyone know what kind of controller they need
when used in the 8? Or does anyone have a suggestion about what other
drive can be used with the -8? I realize that the DSD-440 or other drive
may not be original for the -8 but I just don't want to deal with
something
the size, weight and unreliability of a RK-05.
I think you are looking for one of these:

I don't know if Larry (sammyslave1) has any more of them, or not.
(I have the DSD stuff working on my 8/e.)
