Hi All
Picked up a good lot of pdp stuff at the auction yesterday a Netcom
11/23, and a H960 rack which I've been looking for to put my 11/04 in.
As a bonus, the rack came with a TS03 which I've read is a re badged
Kennedy 9700, a 9-track tape drive w/ 7" reels. The rack had the expansion
Unibus box with the TMB11 interface, Doesn't the TS03 have a pertec
interface and if it does, wouldn't a third party emulex or diloq unibus
card work? Any advice or gotchas on this tape drive would be appreciated!!
Cheers

Ahh, the TS03. I used one for a few years in the late 1980s, but
sold it, and have regretted it ever since. It has a three-connector
(unformatted) Pertec interface, and it should be fine with pretty
much any third-party controller which supports that interface. I
used mine with a third-party Unibus controller but I don't recall
which one; I think it was a Dataram board.
If you ever want to get rid of that, let me know.
