Does anyone know if the RL11 will swap with the TA11 to
switch from
cassette operation to RL02 operation?
What do you mean by 'swap with'? The RL11 and TA11 show up at
entirely different addresses in the IO page, and which the system
boots is dependent upon the bootstrap code available, and not the
position of boards in the bus.

I meant if I needed to re-wire the backplane. The info needed was if they
were both DMA devices or not. I don't have a configuration guide. I can
find boot roms for the RL series drives.
