Well, I may be getting a PDP-11/04 soon (yeah, I'm chuckling too), and I'd like to know if anyone has managed to get any sort of non-DEC disk drives, such as a normal IBM PC drive (boo hiss big blue meanies) to work under RT-11 on such a system. The machine would come with a dual RX01 unit, and I'd really like a little better storage than 256k on an 8 inch floppy. Since I'm a poor college student, I don't have the cash to go out and buy an RX50. I guess an upgrade to an RX02 would be good, but I get the feeling that that just doesn't happen. And, lastly, would it be possible to hook a Unibus expansion box (like from an 11/15) into the 11/04 bus? If someone could give me some help after you stop giggling, I'd be extremely grateful. In fact, if it's good news, I might be joyous enough to send you a box of Pop Tarts in gratitude. Anthony A. Datri ad0r@tb.cc.cmu.edu, ..!pitt!darth!plooba!cthulhu, ad0r@cmuccvma --------
