Joe, that is the correct number. Pat had one that I bought a few
months ago. It takes up roughly 5" of rack space, and is the usual
Are you sure? I've never seen one (but I do have the printset somewhere),
I thought it was a 10.5" unit, not very deep, like the H720 supply used
to power the RK11-C. Maybe I misrememebred or there were several versions.

the +/- 15v
rating and there should be one or two small Winchester power supply
connectors on it.
I also misposted in my last msg. RK03's were the 2 meg version
like RK05's RK02's were 1/2 the track density. As Tony pointed
out, the big difference was individual drive select lines on
the diablo, as opposed to 3:8 decoding on rk05's. You can mix
To be exact, the RK05 _drive_ could do either (look at the schematics,
one of the signals on the interface connector is left open for 1-of-n
selects, grounded for binary selects). I can also remember that the
RK11-C uses 1-of-n selects and works fine with the RK03 or RK05, the RK11-D
uses binary selects and works with the RK05 only.

Sorting out the select lines might need a couple of chips, but it's not
very difficult.
