Chris, I doubt you'll be able to use anything other than a RD51 drive - as this ancient V7M doesn't yet support newer drive types. You might be able to put some of the system files on an RL02 - but I haven't confirmed there's a RL02 boot loader on this kit. Back in 1983 the PDP-11/23-PLUS was a relatively *new* machine. There's later versions of Ultrix-11 (V2 and later) that added support for the 11/73 and bigger drives - look on the Unix Heritage Society site under Unix Archive. There's a downloadable installation tape for Ultrix-11 there. https://www.tuhs.org Tony -- Tony Nicholson <tony.nichol...@computer.org>
