the disk packs are indeed kinda neat now to just find some pdp8 rk05
packs and some cables and the temrinator thingy's for my controlor
card set for the 8
The terminator card is not impossible to find or reproduce (it's the
same as used with the RKV11D 16-bit Qbus controller). 16-sector packs
are somewhat rare in my experience. I'm personally willing to swap
several 12-sector packs for one 16-sector pack.
There are also discussions on the list archives about how to try to
make 12-sector packs appear to be 16-sector packs (modified drives
with a microcontroller generating sector pulses, reworked disc pack
hubs, and so on). I don't know that any of the proposals have been
successfully created.
