Jerome Fine replies:

Would you be satisfied with an M8189 (KDF11-B or a quad
11/23) and 1/2 MByte of memory? I don't know where they
might be right now, but I could look if the answer is yes.

And then are you going to ask for software as well? If not, which
OS are you going to run and have you thought about documentation
and spares and backup?

By the way, if you are going to use RT-11, then V5.03 is the version
that I would strongly recommend as the least version since previous
versions are not able to access the full drive, only the first 32 MBytes.
And prior to V5.0, RT-11 could not even use an RD54. Actually,
V5.0 probably can't use an RD54 either since I doubt that it can
manage the RQDX3, but starting with V5.03, RT-11 is OK.

However, the TK50 was not supported until at least V5.04 and
possibly not until around V5.04A or V5.04C - I not sure which.
