Was there ever an indicator panel for the RC11?
Just curious as I have a set of RC11 modules (M7219, M7220, M7221, M7222, M7224, M7225) I found with the FOX-2/10
(PDP-11/15). No backplane though. I've not found any docs for these, I suppose they're probably on bitsavers and
have overlooked them.

Another indicator panel but non-DEC was the Foxboro drum (that's their description of the fixed-head disk) unit
apparently using the DDC 6200 with their own proprietary DBI controller.

The drum indicator panel bezel is the same casting as the 11/15's (and 11/20) as seen on page 1 of this extract:

I have the complete Foxboro schematics for this controller including the panel with its 61 bulbs. It's on my to-do
scanning pile. From an old 2007 message I found, I think Guy S has one? There was also a small mention of it being
emulated in Section 4.4.15 of the Ersatz-11 manual.

I can't see any evidence that the RC11 controller had anything to do with the Fox unit, so I have no idea why they
had it. There was no trace of any fixed-head disk hardware with the 2/10 and I think it may have only been offered
with the upgraded FOX 2/30 system.
