Thanks for the thread.
I have I Plessy 6700 PDP 11/24 work-alike, But its native drive is SCSI.
I will Check into alternate controllers / formatters.
DEC Model numbering is greek to me
Sincerely
Larry Truthan
Yeah, sure, folks have been doing this for about a decade and a half.
See, in particular,
ftp://ftp.spc.edu/third-party-disks.txt
At a minimum, before getting any further, you're going to need some
way to format arbitrary MFM drives to what the DEC controllers will
expect for a low-level format, either a VS2000 with its built-in
console formatter, or one of the DEC XXDP formatters (ZRQB for the
RQDX2, ZRQC for the RQDX3) and a PDP-11 to run them on.
