Since even V5.03 of RT-11 allows for up to 8 * 32 MByte

provide for partitioned MSCP devices, you should really enjoy an ESDI
hard disk drive. If you do find a drive that is more than 256 MBytes or
eight partitions, you can still use the extra "devices" as data volumes
under V5.03, but just not at the same time since the limit in V5.03 is
eight drives at one time (DU0: => DU7:) out of the 256 possible partitions
on an 8 GByte hard drive (I guess that would be SCSI - not ESDI).

Wow, I would be amazed if I had that much stuff to run on RT-11. I've got
to get the 11/34 set up now in the rack with the BA23 extender box. So it
will now have:
Kennedy 9610 (compact 9trk)
PDP 11/34a
BA23 expansion chassis
RLO2 (on the bottom)
All in a low boy rack if it will fit. (it should, I think that is only 25
out of 28 "U" for that rack.
