Follow-up: Drive is working well and now has a real virgin install of M+
4.6 on it. I also was able to make a TK50 backup tape of it, and even
remembered how to make BRU64K bootable on a RX01 floppy so I can restore
it :-)
Next step will be to get the 383mb Wren VI disk up and going. ESDI seems
to be pretty darn quick, if that works I might stop there or pick up an
8760 drive for 700mb of storage.
Far cry from the dual RM02's I used to work with back in the day, but it
does seem to work well....

Picked up a CDC 94166 ESDI disk on Ebay last week,
arrived and sure
enough it works. No errors either, so I can now give my 30+ year old
Fujitsu 2322 a rest and load up rsx11m+ instead of 11/m 4.2
After formatting it on the MTI controller (MQD13) I set the first
partition to 30mb and loaded up my RT11 5.7 backup from the TK50 onto it
with no issues.
Productive. If I can find my DEQNA and an AUI to wireless adapter I
could get this thing up on the net.....
