I've done it useing a RLV12 board set though. As far as I know it can't be
done with the RLV11 you have. At least I was given to understand that if
you try you'll let out the magic smoke.
I've attached RL01's and RL02's to my SMS-1000 (PDP-11/73), PDP-11/73 (home
built in a MicroVAX BA123 from mostly DEC parts using a /23+ instead of the
/73 so I could boot the system), and a VAXstation II/RC. I'd love to get
more controllers, as it is I have to shift the controller to which ever
system I want to use the drives with.
If you're wanting to boot off of RL02's then remember that you'll want to
have something with boot roms that support the drives. The only thing I
have that does is a /23+

Huh? Wrong controller for a RX02.

Nope, Q-Bus.
