The RLV12 (RL02 drive controller) in my PDP-11/23+ has decided to quit
working when it gets hot in the room.
RT-11 won't boot, with an ERR 15 Controller Error.
The defect may have become permanent, will have to check in the morning
when everything's cool.
The drives themselves are not indicating any faults, and both of them
exhibit the same behavior on boot.
Trying to rig up an emulator (or boot XXDP from the Teac 3.5" floppy)
introduces a whole new set of hair-pullers.
Since the RLV12 is so complex, I am tempted just to replace it, if one
can be had... so does anyone have one they don't need? :)
thanks
