8" hard disk storage for unibus 11?

[Mike Ross]

Many moons ago I had a small fleet of pdp-11/04s, pulled out of a
research synchrotron.

(well, not *literally* out of the synchrotron, they probably wouldn't
work if they had been...)

They all had disk subsystems made by a company called Baydel; a 19"
rack module, half-height like an 11/04, containing an 8" hard disk and
power supply, hooked up to a quad-size Unibus card. Emulated a bunch
of RK05s. Can't recall the nature of the interface between the card
and the drive.

Over the years I appear to have carelessly and unintentionally traded
or given away ALL the bloody things! Anyone else have one, had one, or
know someone who might? I've Googled and there's a deafening silence,
apart from me asking the same question on Usenet ten years ago!
