Does anyone have any PDP11 RK05s that they would
like to swap me for some of the PDP8 RK05s?
I smell a trade brewing (I hope).
If someone can reassure me that the RK05J cartridges can be reformatted for
RK05F use, I'd be willing to tear into my RK05Fs to liberate their
cartridges.
I also can't vouch for my cartridges' usefulness, given the drives have been
unused for quite some time, and I have no working -11 to try them with. At
least one drive has had the plastic elbow shatter during shipment; hopefully
none of the debris made it into the cartridge (but I'd recommend cleaning it
before use).
