[cctalk] Re: RSX11M installation on real PDP11

There are two versions of the TU58 emulator both from the same source I believe. They both work well, but one has more de bugging features which are useful. I used raspberry pi three I think. It had 2 USB serial ports. I set up a terminal server that just reconnected to the USB serial port th

Yes they unique and I couldn’t find any when I looked a few years ago. They appear on eBay from time to time at ridiculous prices (~$100 range). I heard of people bypassing the connectors on the drives themselves and connecting to the edge connector inside but I haven’t done this myself. Kirk

RA82 HDA

I know it's a little bit early for mothers day but I have a RA82 HDA available for the cost of shipping (sorry but prepay - I've been stiffed by someone on this group). It needs a good home or it goes to the dumpster next week. Kirk
