Interesting coincidence. I was digging through some boxes of stuff yesterday, and I
came
across two sets of these in really nice condition. Haven't tested 'em yet (had
/no/ idea
that they could be used for diagnosis of an RX01 control board) but looks like they
should
be pretty simple to check out. I had didn't know of the existence of these before
yesterday.
I did a little searching and found that they are useful for debugging 11/35 and 11/40
systems,
as well as RK05 drives...but didn't see anything about the RX01 drive electronics.
They are certainly used with the 11/35 and 11/40. Also with the 11/05
and 11/10, I think
the 11/20 has a slot for them (that's what the labels in the etch of a
genuine KM11 seem
to be for) and the 11/45. Possibly other Unibus processors
AFAIK they are not used with RK05 drives, but are used with both types of Unibus
controller for same (RK11-C and RK11-D). And the RK11 of course.
Possibly other things, but those are the ones I've come across.
Speaking of RX01's, does anyone out there have a spare front bezel for the RX01
that they'd be willing to part with?
I have a working RX01 on my 8/e system (both drives good, amazingly) but the
bezel was missing when I got it.
It'd be nice to have, as it looks rather dumpy in the rack with the rest of the
system.
Pity you're not in the UK. I have a spare RX02 that I don't really
need... I don't
want to strip it for parts but I could be convince to part with the
complete thing.
