Now up to $380. How high will it go?

Are there docs and drivers available for the DTC-11-2?

There is a manual for the DTC-11-1 here:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dtc/DTC11-1.pdf

If the DTC-11-2 has the same programming interface the driver has to
build SCSI CDBs which the controller sends to the device so it
wouldn't be compatible with any standard DEC storage interfaces.

If the SCSI drive included with this item listing isn't bootable into
some OS and doesn't contain a driver for the DTC-11-2 the DTC-11-2
might not be of too much use for the average buyer.
