PDP-11/44 boot prompt

< >or with any of the other PDP-11/44 systems, I am looking for a TU-58 < >tape drive which I understand came as an external unit with this system < < I know on mine, it's located in the same rack as the CPU and the RX02 < drives. It's not external. They did make external ones, though I don' < have one. It was internal and primary use was diagnostis as it was on a serial line making it the easiest thing to bring up. Also the 11/44 interface was slow for some reason and the TU58 was limited to 4800 baud or the 44 would lose data. < >Does anyone have one that they are not using? I understand they were < >used for diagnostics and if the tapes and manuals are still available, < >might still be useful. Otherwise, I have some old tapes I would like t < >read. I have several but I do use them. I can read tape and transfer to RX01/2. This is assumeing the tapes are still good (binder isn't flaking). < It's possible to run RT-11 off of them, which I believe is where the < external drive came into play. Yes, I have an 11/23 with an external TU58 that runs RT11. The one internal to the 44 could also run RT if memory serves. RT11/TU58 expects a DL compatable serial line to use the DD driver.
