I think the PDT-110 was the VT100 based with the .TU58s, and the PDT-150
was the RX02 based unit. The RX02 drives had a red stripe on the handle
because they were a little different than the regular RX02.
They both ran a stripped down version of RT11.

time I did a sysgen. The RX02 on my PDP-11/03 system isn't working reliably
yet, so I can't build a floppy for you at the moment. :(
I have a pair of incomplete PDT-11 systems that I'm hoping to build at
least one working system from. I don't recall whether they're marked as
PDP-11/110 or PDT-11/130. They're the style with the card cage and a dual
TU58 drive mounted inside a VT100 case. One is missing the backplane. The
other is missing a metal frame behind the backplane and the plastic cover
over the card cage. Both are missing the com port card that plugs in to the
VT100 motherboard, and neither has the card support bars. I should be able
to fabricate a com port card replacement if necessary.
