RK05 stuff

Is the cable that connects the RK05 drives to the RK11-D unibus
controller card set the same as the one used to connect the RK05
drive to the RK8-E omnibus controller card set? In other words,
if I have two RK05 drives and the cables, will they connect to
an RK11-D if I can find one?

Tony, based on your previous post, it sounds like I may need an
expansion box to put the RK11-D backplane and card set into. I
do have numerous empty slots in my 11/34 backplane right now,
but I'll have to see how many and I need to check on what all's
in there and the power requirements for the RK11-D. I do have
another empty BA11-K expansion box with a DD11-K backplane in it,
and I'm not using it right now. It's just sitting empty, not
plugged in, in an H960 cabinet.

It's also the same as a Unibus cable that you'd use between, say, a
processor and an expansion cabinet.
