Yes, as odd as is seems I'm looking for a functional RD-51 or equiv. 10mb
MFM hard drive. (ST-412, etc.)
I'm trying to reload an operating system onto one of my Micro PDP-11
systems, and it insists that it will only install to an RD-51 drive.
So... if anyone has one lying about that needs a purpose, please drop me a
note.

You tell us which operating system this is, but most revisions of
RT-11, RSX-11M+, and RSTS/E aren't that picky about MSCP devices. Just about any MFM hard drive can be pressed into
service as a RD51
(as it is *almost* the lowest common denominator in MFM drives, after
you forget about the original ST506). If you've got a larger physical disk,
you just tell the RQDX formatter that you're using to format it as
a smaller logical disk.
Which RQDX formatter are you using, BTW?
My VS2000. No copies of the tape based formatter have fallen my way to
date...
