TE11? That doesn't sound like a DEC designation. The drives are
TU10, TU16 (with later variant TE16), TU45, etc. The controller for a
PDP11 might be a TM11 (for the TU10); for a bunch of the others it
would be a massbus controller (RH11 or RH70) connected to the drive by
way of a TM02 or TM03 formatter.
What precisely is the setup?
