Hi folks,
I just stumbled across two RP02 and RP03 disk drives (2 RP02, 1 RP03) in
probably repairable condition.
We have all cables (power, "bus", "unit") needed to hook the beasts
to a
RP10 controller of a pdp10. Thinking of restoring and connecting them to
a Unibus pdp11.
Very difficult. RP11C controllers are pretty uncommon.
The drives are standard IBM BUS/TAG interface, and are compatible with
2311-ish drives. 20 and 40mb.
I have the manuals for the drives, they were made by Memorex. I'll see about
getting them on line. The RP11 docs are already there under unibus. One of the
people involved with the Mass Storage SIG at CHM designed the RP02 (Tom Garner)
at Memorex.
