I can give you one of each if you like.
Allison
A good substitute for RX50 is an RX33 (aka TEAC
FD55GFR) or an FD55F
setup as non1.2mb. RX50 drives are actually two platters but one head
positioner and they are 96TPI like the mentioned FD55F or G. These
work
fine with RQDX2/3 as a RX50 substitute. I have one configured that
way.
Allison,
Thanks for your suggestion. I amend my previous request. Does anyone
have a Teac FD55GFR that they can spare? :-)
Actually, I have one myself but it is installed in a DECmate III+
machine that I didn't want to cannibalize. I guess I could remove it
temporarily to install software on my PDP-11 and then replace it
later. But, if anyone has either an RX33 (FD55GFR) or an RX50 they
can spare, please let me know what you would want in return.
Thanks,
David
