If anyone has not been able to figure out the answer to
that question,
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't
have one.
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, they
might still be useful. Otherwise, I have some old tapes I would like to
read.
It's possible to run RT-11 off of them, which I believe is where the
external drive came into play.
