The RX8E goes in an unused slot and his -8/i has *both* DECtape and floppy.
I do not have a TC08 :-( I do have a TC11 and a TD8E, though. I was
looking at this with an eye for building an RX8L from scratch (I have a
BM08 on my -8/L for a total of 12K, but I doubt I could make the floppy
interface fit in an -8/L box, even if there were an open spot.
