I've got a spare RL02 drive, and a bunch of carts, but no Unibus
controller card.  If your 11/34 has something that will work, you're
welcome to it, and some disks.

Only thing is, I'm in Glasgow, which is probably not terribly near you
(all the other classiccmpers I know are at least as far south as the
Pennines).

There *might* be a haul of PDP-11 stuff in Aberdeen.  I don't know if
it's still there, and I haven't spoken to the guy who had it in about a
year.
