[net.misc] RKO7 DEC DRIVE

jim@sivax.UUCP (Jim Boman) (12/12/85)

        I have a DEC RK07 disk drive (stop laughing) and I'd like
        some ideas as to what to do with it. I don't have a controller
        or a PDP-11 to go with it, but I'm looking. The thing hasn't
        been used at all and is sitting in my family room. Any
                -offers
                -ideas
                -comments
                -criticism
        would be appeciated. *************************************

        If bread is the staff of life, that is no reason to say that
        the life of this staff has been one long loaf.

Hollow it out and buy a used washing machine.  Insert working parts of
washing machine into empty cabinet.

Perhaps you could send it to David Letterman with a suggestion to use it the
next time he's dropping things off of a six-story building.
