Hi,
I just wanted to let folks know that I've gotten my 11/70 setup with
BSD2.11. It now has 2 Fujitsu Eagles attached to an Emulex SC72. BSD
"thinks" there are 4 RP06 drives attached!
Now that I have enough disk storage on it, I'm going to start to image
the 200+ (yes, that's *not* a typo) RK05 packs. It'll take a seriously
long time to go through all of the packs since before I will put a
"strange" pack into the RK05 drive on the '70 (actually *any* of my RK05
drives), I disassemble the pack and completely clean the enclosure and
the platter. Since there's a fair amount of DEC distribution media
among the packs, I'll be doing the "high" value packs first. I'll let
folks know how it goes and try to put together a catalog of what's there.
I've configured this 11/70 (actually a DS570) to be able to read/write
RL01/2 packs and RK05 packs. It also has a TU80 so I can also
read/write 1600bpi 9-track tapes.
It also has a DELUA ethernet. BSD is configured for TCP/IP and I've set
it up to use one of my static IPs. DNS is pointing to it as
neptune.shiresoft.com. This will allow me to move bits on/off the '70
with relative ease.
I'm also contemplating letting it run 24/7 (I may reconsider once I see
my electric bill) and offering access to individuals. What do y'all think?
