Subject: Re: PDP 11/34
I would guess that they are RK05, I just hauled 2 RL01's
into the garage. Further looking on the web leads me to
think that there maybe 3 card cages 2 standards and 1
enhanced with the keypad. There are also a bunch of disks
for the RL01.
I also found documentation for a PDP 11/05 in the pile and,
a box of 8" floppies, and a box of paper tapes. I didn't
notice a reader. There were also 2 bakplanes in a second
box and a bunch more cards which I'll list latter.
The 8" floppy drives are Morrows.
There is documentation for CROMEMCO fortran in the pile
also.
be able to bring

Manuals,
disks
and paper
tapes, a VT100 terminal and 2 8" floppy drives.
I left 4 RL05 drives, 2 racks and card cages behind for
another trip.
Are those RK05 or RL01 or RL02 drives? >How much of this do I need to get the system

ie.

basement?
Part of the answer to the question will be do you want to up whatever system is on those disk packs? Keep in
mind
it might require
all 4 of those drives, plus if those are RK05's
you want
to make sure you
keep all of them.
Looking at the pile I'm thinking that there is still 1 rack
missing.
Will keeping them in an unheated garage cause much damage,
or should I make an effort to get the units to the basement.
