The drive in the 8562 is a Micropolis 1304 on a Xebec 1401 (SASI) so there is some chance of getting a replacement some day. Both drives in the units have sticky head actuators. The usual opening of the HDA and fiddling with the actuator were required to get one of the two going, and that one had the native programming and x86 tools packages on it. I'm looking for a copy of a bootable Terak double density RT11 disk image, and a parallel keyboard for the 8010C that I have. All of the RT images I have try booting from the non-existant SD controller. UCSD Pascal II.0 can apparently deal with either kind. The docs on John Foust's site also say it should work with the high resolution display in the 8010C. It did seem to boot with one, but I have to puzzle out the pinouts of the 15 pin monitor connector on the 8010C. Actually, I need to do that for all of the connectors since there only seems to be documentation around for the pinouts of the 8010A. Oddly, the documentation for the variable density conversion kit claims that the conversion floppy is bootable, but it doesn't appear to be. I haven't tried manually putting the DDens bootstrap and monitor onto a floppy disk image yet, still have to figure out how the DDens floppies are laid out (they use IBM MFM encoding, so they're incompatible with RX02's). I tried the 11/73 out of the 8562 and it fails to boot II.0 (11/02 and 23 boards work).
