useful.....

Paul,
The VCFed museum (Wall NJ USA) could use the RA60 pack for its 11/44. I
donated the 11/44 with a RA60 drive a few years ago, but I am unsure if an
RA60-bootable pack came with it, most of what they got are just data packs
IIRC. I personally don't have an RA60
Please advise and I can send you an address to mail / arrange to pick up.
Bill

Gentlepeople,
I have two items that I'd like to send to a good home. That means,
someone who can read the item in question and make it available so it's
preserved.
1. A DECtape labeled "VT30 distribution for RSX11D V06-B". VT30 is a DEC
CSS product, a color alphanumeric terminal.
2. An RA60 pack labeled "RT11 V5.6" and possibly (it's hard to see)
"kit". That "kit" seems a bit unlikely, an RA60 is way bigger than
makes
sense for an RT11 kit. But if it were a source pack that would be a
different matter.
#2 was found in an abandoned DEC facility; #1 I don't remember, possibly
the same.
An RA60 pack looks physically like an RM03 pack, but its capacity is much
larger so the format is entirely different. A PDP11 or VAX with an RA60
drive should be able to read it.
If you have the ability to use one or both of these and are willing to
read the data and post it, please contact me.
