DEC RPR02 drive on eBay...This one really IS "RARE L@@K" etc. Two
days left as of the time of this writing, no bids, $100 opening bid,
in New Hampshire. Item #200457840777.
Beautiful device...wish I had a way to grab it. I hope someone
here gives it a good home.
(no association with seller, etc)

Indeed it is rare. A bit of TLC and it would definitely be a nice
piece for any collection.

What is "TLC"?
And what is the difference between RP02 and RPR02? They look quite similar - except the
paint. And I
got some RPR schematics from someone in the Netherlands last Sunday - thanks again :-)
Would be cool if the schematics fit my RP02 and RP03 drives - at least a little bit.
I'll keep the
stuff anyway. Perhaps there is some interest to put that to Al?
Regards,
Philipp

Hello Philipp,
TLC : Thin Layer Chromatography, ehh, no, it's a band, or is it
'Tables, Ladders and Chairs', or was it 'The Learning Channel'?
It's an English term and as far as I remember it stand for
Time, Love & Craftsmanship, but I guess native English speakers
can verify it.
No idea what the exact difference is between an RRP02 & RP02, maybe
the motor circuitry could be the difference (i.e. 1 phase power,
2 phase power or 3 phase power).
Haven't you gone through the pile of docs yet, after all you picked up
all the RP-11/RP0x stuff last Sunday and there is a fair chance it does
list the difference between them.
Regards,
Ed

While that fits the acronym (and perhaps those words are associated
with TLC in the UK), in the U.S., I've always heard it expanded out to
"Tender Loving Care". The resulting meaning is the same as you
propose in this context (though it skews a bit when referring to
giving a person some "TLC").

I'd be curious to learn the difference myself. I've seen RP0x drives,
but never heard of RPR0x drives before.

It turns out the RPR02 was a Memorex 660-0 (IBM plug
compatible) that
had come off rent in the Memorex lease base and then was refurbished
into an RPR02 and resold by Digital. Memorex sold a bunch to Digital
in the late 1970's.
