How about this?

Does anyone have any PDP11 RK05s that they would
like to swap me for some of the PDP8 RK05s?

I smell a trade brewing (I hope).

I could help relieve someone of the burden of excess PDP-8 cartridges, too
:-)!

The question lurking in my mind, though, is are the 'F' cartridges different
from the 'J' cartridges? (I have a couple of RK05F drives that I'd like to
convert to PDP-8 use.)
