I will also try a different model of SCSI drive too -
perhaps the
Quantum Fireball is too much of a good thing (4200RPM 2.1GB); I have
an old clunker of a Quantum ProDrive 80S (3600 RPM 80MB!)
Do you happen to have any DEC RZ2x HD's? I'd recommend giving those
a try. While RSTS/E 10.1 doesn't require these, it is possible that
the RQZX1 does, or the combination of the board and RSTS/E does.
RSTS/E can be touchy. I was totally unable to install DECnet/E from
4mm DAT using a TLZ06, even though I installed RSTS/E 10.1 that way.
On the other hand the install worked just fine using a TK50 and TKZ30
drive.
Personally I'm using a PDP-11/73, Viking QDT, a 50-pin 2GB Seagate
Barracuda SCSI HD, and a Plextor 8x Caddy CD-ROM drive to run 10.1.
