Thanks Noel: The boards are not RK611 controller boards, they seem to go
in the drives themselves, maybe.
m7706, m7906, m7908,m7907
I don't remember RK07's much, they were quickly replaced by RL02's in
the world I lived in. Kind of odd little ducks.
I'm just trying to get rid of junk, and they're taking up space. I had
an RK611 in a Plessy expansion box but I think I sold that with my
11/34+2 RM02's awhile ago.

I might be interested if no one else wants this.
You'll need a backplane too - and that's non-trivial. (I'm in the process of
producing one for a KE11-A.) The RK611 is a 9-slot (although several slots
are just SPC, and can be ignored).
Hence the plaint on my 'PDP-11 Models' page:
http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/pdp11/PDP-11_Models.html
"DO NOT just keep the boards, and discard the box, bulkhead panels, cables,
etc. Everyone does that, as a result of which we are now over-supplied with
boards - but the cables, boxes etc are now rare (un-obtainium in some cases
..) These are all now worth a lot more than the cards are!"
