Is that what the manual says? It's been 8 years since I moved up to
a quad-height from my KDJ11-A, and afraid I can't remember. If so,
give it a go.
Right now I have the drives disconnected, but it has
the standard dual
5.25" floppy drives and Maxtor XT-2190 (190 MB) drive in it. At the
moment, I have the power supply to the drives disconnected because I
wanted to make sure I could get to a boot prompt sort of thing without
spinning up and spinning down the hard drive all the time--I also
wanted to avoid having it start booting RT-11 while I'm not watching
the console.
The Maxtor is a RD-54 drive, it's a 159MB formatted, and 10 years ago
it was *the* MFM drive to have, I'm quite sure it still is.
Currently the card stack looks like:
[ dual-height KDJ11-A ] [empty] [empty]
[ board connected to serial lines] [empty] [empty]
[ Three connected boards that I believe are ]
[ extra hardware installed by the lab ]
[ ]
[ another board ]
What are the numbers on the boards? For example that CPU is
something like a M8192. Without that we really can't tell what you
have.
