I'm looking for a modern storage ... device for an
11
Aren't we all! :-)
I think I have seen a few hobbyist projects that were
flash based, I
thought I saw one that was an IDE interface....
I think that was probably Brad Parker's prototype?
Anyone know of a good project to add some modern
storage
Available today, no. But there are a number of projects which will probably
be cranking out UNIBUS DEC controller emulators with modern storage backends.
I gather Guy's MEM11 project will probably eventually spin off a version with
a larger disk, and Bridgham and I are planning on doing a UNIBUS version of
our card once the QBUS version is done. (Actually, ours is planned to include
an ENABLE too, with 4MB of memory, for those of us with 34's, 40's, 45's,
etc.) Any more?

As Tom Lehrer not-so-delicately put it "more, more, more! I'm still not
satisfied ..." :->.
My thanks to you and Bridgham (who has a second name, perhaps)!

This is great news, Noel. Are you on keeping bits and/or status for these
projects on github or anywhere else that might encourage participation and
contribution? I'd be glad to pitch in if I can. Actually, I (and I bet
others) would love to see an up to date wiki entry or somesuch listing
folks' retro projects like these and would be happy to create it if you'd
provide a couple of pointers.
