I'm back to working on the PDT11/150 again, the bottom floppy is weird: It doesn't read rx01 disks, period. Top one is fine. So I tried swapping all of the connectors on the control board so the top one was PD1: and the bottom was PD0: Sure enough the top drive works fine as PD1: and bottom is still dead so it's a drive issue.

Pull the drive, put in a spare, button it up, and sure enough it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Also I recall my MiniMinc/150 (which is in parts in my shed) had EIS and FIS, but this one only reports FIS. Did DEC make pdp11/03 expansion chips that only had FIS?
