>I've got disk box, 19" rack mount, that is labelled Chrislin Industries.
>Inside is an SA612 hard disk labelled DL0: on the front, and two 8"
>floppies (NEC floppies) labelled DY0: and DY1: on the left. (horizontal
>mount). Inside the box is a PC board that takes a 50pin connector (labelled
>"Controller") and has connectors labelled WINC0, WINC1, 5" FLOPPY, 8"
>FLOPPY, and WINCHESTER.

>This is the zillion dollar question, it looks as if this box could be
>plugged into an RQDX3 and emulate two RX02 and an RLxx. Or, it could plug
>into some CI controller that did its own emulation.

>My "Microcomputers and Memory" handbooks lists on the back the following

>My question is if I stuck the RQDX3 in slot 4 would it work? If I found a
>copy of RSX-11M could I boot it on this system (128KB of memory) how about
>RT-11? Do I need the BDV11 if I have the RQDX3 ?
