Tony,
I very much appreciate all the helpful hints and advice.
No problem...
I will print off this email and keep it with my
drives. I
should be able to hook them up to a pdp 11 in the next month
or two, when I get my RK11 controller. At that time I will
closely follow your words of wisdom.
Can you tell me more about St. Chad, etc?
It was a joke, OK :-)
St Chad did esist, I just picked the name because of the obvious
connection with that byproduct of storing data... Hackforth is a real
place, it also describes what I do on my HP71. It seemed like an obvious
name for the patron saint of old comptuers.
