AFAIK DEC never supported disks on the GPIB. It's
just a card to link up lab
equipment, etc. Of course you _could_ write a driver for a GPIB disk, but
it's not going to be an easy job.
It's not that hard - everything you need to know about making a bootable
device driver under RT-11 is documented with extreme clarity and many examples.
Adding RSX-11 support for a new device to standalone BRU, now, that's not an
easy job!
