Curt Vendel of the Atari Historical Society needs
help. He's obtained a
bunch of RM05 carthridges that apparently contain a lot of interest Atari
corporate data. He'd like to read these but doesn't have the necessary
gear.
Is there anyone in the New York area (or thereabouts) who has an RK05
Which is it? The RK05 is a single-platter 2.5M byte unit, and is fairly
common. The RM05 is a floor-standing washing machine (12 platter pack??)
and is much rarer. The 2 are not compatible.
drive that they can loan to Curt so he can read these?
Better yet, does
anyone have a working PDP-11 system upon which these tapes can be read?
Was the RM05 ever supported on PDP11s? (maybe on the 11/70 suing the
built-in MASSbus adapters, but I would be suprised if a MASSbus ->
Unibus interface would be fast enough). These packs could well have come
from a VAX system.
