No. You are correct - I was thinking of all the places that RD51s and
RD52s get, not RQDX1s, -2s, and 3s. My bad.
I wouldn't consider a lack of RD51 and RD52
support to be a deal-breaker
either, simply a nice to have. ?My key concern is that I be able to put one
of these in my /73 and boot RSTS/E, RSX-11M/M+, or RT-11 without any issues,
and ideally without needing to swap CF cards. ?Currently my main two Q-Bus
PDP-11's use removable SCSI Hard Drives than can be swapped between the two.
In the case of RT-11, the same drive can be used on my PDP-11/44.
That sounds really handy. I have a couple of Qbus SCSI cards I have
yet to test, but I have never run across a Unibus SCSI controller so
cheap that it followed me home.
I'm kinda hosed for Unibus storage except UDA50s and RL11s. I do have
one or maybe two SMD or ESDI controllers (have to check the models),
but I'm thin on SMD drives.
RL02s are great to a point, but when you want 50-60MB, not
particularly practical.
