Good work on getting the 2116A working again.
Anyone care to speculate on the initial low sales of the 2116A? was it
because HP weren't well known for producing computers at the time or
was the $22K asking price too high compared with say DEC's less than
$10K for a PDP-8?
Well... the only indirect command processor present on RSXM70.DSK was
ICX.TSK
I transferred it from simh RX50 disk image to a RT-11 formatted floppy

boots an nearly all PDP-11's and is a very basic system.
Normally you do a sysgen to build a target

Hi Chuck,
What 3.5" drives have you found that can do 1.6MB mode without major mods?
I'm aware of :
Alps DF354N
Samsung SFD-321B
Sony MPF920-E
TEAC FD-235HG
TEAC FD-05HG
Any others?
TIA,
