Rich - correct. That is the disc we have here.
Just wondering in case We ever got a pdp-8 with disc interface or a
standard unibus PDP 11 here at SMECC . We have an 11/20 but of
course not much memory and no disc controller so it sits.

Are you referring to having the H-27 drive from Heath? I don't know for
sure because I've never seen H27 docs, but the disk capacity is the same as
the RX01 (256k) and I think the interface was made deliberately
incompatible, likely at the behest of DEC. The version of RT-11 (called HT-11)
supposedly used a different floppy device driver.
Again, this is based solely on what I've read from various places and not
direct experience (I have an H-11 with a SCSI controller; no floppy; and it
runs RT-11 no problem).

the drives are not rx o1 or rx o2... but are they and the
controller
comparable? with rx01 or an rx02?
