I remember that big fat braid. ISTR it was not
easy to find a
convenient place to bolt that down on a BA23.
well, hopefully Paul will pop up with some at a better price. I was just thinking I have some RL11 and RLV12
controllers, and it
would be fun to try getting one of the FPGA drive simulators running
(another project to add to the pile).
That would be one I would enjoy testing. I spun a lot of RL drives
over the years, and while I always found them reliable, it takes
up a lot of space to put together a moderate amount of storage
(like the time I installed 2.9BSD on my 11/24. about 5 years
before Linux appeared - I had to add a second RL02 to have
enough room to rebuild the kernel).
