This isn't the answer you want to hear, but if these had been hooked up to
an RP10, wouldn't it make more sense to arrange for these drives to be used
on a PDP-10 rather than a PDP-11?  Unless I'm mistaken the PDP-11 varient
are slightly more common.  And yes, I'm saying this even though I *assume*
you do not have a PDP-10.
