Yup... but an RK05F, RK05J and PDP11/23 cpu in 11/03

breaker quite nicely, thank you. 8-)
How'd you get 32Mb of memory in an 11/03? :-)
Still... nice setup. I wish I had a working RK05f... I have a couple of
RK05j drives (I ruined the only 'f' I ever saw as a teenager - I didn't
know what I was doing and I moved the fixed pack when the drive was still
turning. :-P I still have the platter as a reminder.)
Speaking of RK05 drives, is there still a source for absolute filters?

Actually should've been 32KW (64MB) of memory. Been working with too

Clean the heads and install a new RK05 pack and it'll probably work.
I had one RK05J that crashed on a platter with a 1/4" ding in it. (DEC
security confiscated it from me at training an shipped it back in a box
standing on one end (up against the plastic covered case screw).
Crash, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Sounded like a bell at every hit.
Cleaned heads, new pack, ran error free.

absolute filters?
Gee, I don't know.
I do know that one ran a year or so with RT11 and the absolute filter cap still
on the filter (was real warm in the drive, though). Idiot who installed
it should've been shot...

The Smart A** in me wants to know what word size you're using to get 64
Megabytes out of 32KW! :^)
