Sergio,
You can have up to 4 drives per controller, and up to 2 controllers per
system.
BTW, RD5x drives are usually seen as DU devices, not as DL ones.
Ed
I've send some requests to more places and
providers.
You can be sure that I tell you the info when
I have it.
In fact, I'm interested not only cause of the RD52.
I have in mind try to connect TWO hard disks. I think
that could be possible to put two partitions (DL0
and DL1, by example) in the first disk, and DL3 and DL4
in the second.
Mmmm... this takes me to ask another question: How much DL
units (that is, RL0x devices) could be defined in one
PDP-11/23 PLUS system (my personal object of study) ?
This ask has a practical meaning: My system could has
in a near future installed one DILOG DQ614
and one RL02 controller with one RL02 disk unit attached.
And I has six RL02 cartridges that I like to use.
Greetings and Best Regards from Spain
Sergio
