hi,
Silly me, I bid on an RX01 on ebay, hoping it had a controller card.
Naturally it's just the drive. It has a nice Digital sticker on the side
and seems dirty but mechanically sound and the head looks ok.
So, where can I get a controller card for this thing? any ideas? are
these things like hen's teeth?
Naturally I have an unibus rx01 controller card, so all I need is a
controller card for this drive, right? (and a cable, and power supplies
:-)
I just have this unbending need to boot rt-11 from it. I know it's
silly but I need to do it. And, it seemed like it might be fun to boot
other things too. Plus, with the Shugart drives I have I thought I
might actually be able to transfer small files.
