- Having just been given 2 515mbyte SMD drives, I would like to get them
- connected to my PDP11/23.
-
- I currently have a Dilog DQ20X controller which emulates RK05 drives.
- Unfortunately I have no documentation or software for this controller, so
- I was wondering if anyone could help me out ?
-
- Currently I have connected up one drive, and it spins up ok and the online
- light on the drive comes on. When I try to access the drive using RT11
- using DUMP /TERMINAL RK0: I can hear some accessing taking place but RT11
- reports that it cannot read the device.
-
- Does anyone have any idea of what the problem is ?
- There are 5 dip switches on the controller card and I don't have a clue
- what they do, so I guess the problem might be these.
- The drives I have can be configured to have different numbers of sectors per
- track ( currently 48 sectors per track ). Do I need to change these, and if so
- will I have to reformat the drive ?
-
- All suggestions will be gratefully received as I really am quite desperate to
- get these rather nice drives online !
