I have a
MicroVAX II in a BA23 cabinet. I'd like
to convert this to a PDP-11. I know I'll need to
replace the CPU and memory and remove the GPX boards,
but what else do I need to replace? The disk is an
RD54 on a RQDX3 controller and the tape is a TK50
on a TQK50. I've also got a DELQA Ethernet board.
That's all you need to replace except for the Cab Kit for the CPU board.
The RD54 is one of the best MFM disks you can have in it, however, I'd
really recommend finding a 3rd party ESDI or SCSI controller if you can.
