RQDX3 on an 11/23?

The ST-251 formats up as an RD32. Since they have fewer heads than the full-height devices, they are not as fast (it's quick to switch heads, slower to move them), but they do work. In the specific case of the ST-225, RT-11 partition size won't be an issue because 21.4MB is less than 32MB, so don't worry about what version you are running, as long as it's new enough to have a DU driver. I have never used an RQDX3 except in a BA23 or BA123, but the schemes I've seen described in this thread to manufacture a direct RQDX3->hard drive should all work. If you can lay your hands on a BA23, however, that would greatly simplify things, as you would have the distribution wiring included, as well as a write protect switch and activity light (for one drive, at least... there's an uncommon BA23 front panel that _can_ support two hard drives and no floppies, or one can make some hardware mods... apologies if this is confusing... ignore it if you plan to use only one hard drive, and just know that it will work fine in a standard BA23). -ethan
