I think an important question would be, is this worth the additional effort
it would take someone to put together? Or to put it another way, are there
any hobbyists besides myself with a CD-ROM on thier main PDP-11? I know
you've tried unsuccessfully to get a CD-ROM drive that will work with your
SCSI controller. Which brings up another interesting point, how many
Hobbyists are running any of their PDP-11's with SCSI controllers?
