Actually, I want to do something similar to
Ethan's old boss, except
that I plan to add a hard disk by using a Dilog DI-602 card. It
attaches to a standard MFM disk and emulates a RL02 controller and, best
of all, it's only a double module. It'll fit the backplane easily.
The only problem is that the boot ROMs, which are on the WH-27 card,
don't know how to boot a RL02. Any ideas?
I seem to remember that if you configure RT11 with the RL11 handler
(DL.SYS IIRC) and boot that (e.g. from RX01 floppies) you can then do a
BOOT /FOREIGN DL0: to boot the RLs.
Or of course you should be able to type in the RL02 bootstrap using
console ODT, but that becomes a right pain fast!
