Last I checked, an RX01 is not a computer, and does not include a
hard drive.
I sent the following message to "sirsellsum" who listed the "DX01":
"The device is an RX01, not a DX01. It is NOT a mainframe, it is NOT even a
computer. It is an 8" diskette drive which requires a connection to a controller in a
minicomputer such as a PDP-8 or PDP-11 in order to read or write diskettes. It is not rare
- I have several (including the much more desirable RX02 diskette drive). Please change
your description so that you won't be embarrassed - or worse - sued for fraud.
Regards, Lyle"
It will be interesting to see if he changes the listing. He has to be a bit concerned
knowing that I'll support any buyer who actually buys his "DX01
mainframe"...
It's been partially revised, in illiterate fashion. So not necessarily
kudos to him, but perhaps half a kudo, or at most a whole one.
