Do you have packs for
your RL01 drives? Hopefully the packs were
removed and the heads locked for transport. An 11/34 w/RL01 is a nice little RT-11 system, though
it'd be a bit
cramped for 2.9BSD (both in terms of disk and RAM). You could
probably also run an older version of RSX-11/M on it too. I think we
ran something around RSX-11/M 4.0 or 4.1 on ours in the mid-1980s.
You can always get more disk. Easiest would just be an upgrade to RL02
drives...
Also, current RSX-11M would also be happy on that machine, assuming he
has the full 256K of memory.
Once more possibly disk space being an issue, though.

Good point. There is a transport lock for RL drivers, that should be in
