Hi Folks,
I have been making good progress restoring a PDP-8/m and would like to buy a vintage hard
drive and controller for it. Anyone know where I might find those? An RK05 or Diablo-31
drive would be nice. Will also need an RK8E controller board set.
Have had some near misses: A Diablo-31 was up on eBay but it turns out that it's
missing a head. Found an RK05 listed for sale on a fellow's site. After I agreed to
buy it, haven't been able to get a reply, though. Located the controller listed for
sale at another company site. The phone system takes messages but they haven't been
returned (so far). Email bounces. Hmmm.
Please let me know if you know of any possibilities.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I have all 3 items here, but I'm on the mend. I'll see if i can talk
my son into finding them. I also have a plessey controller for the
rk05, but can't remember it it's omni-bus or unibus (or both). Ship
from 61853, Illinois.
Thanks, Paul
