Yeah I realized afterwards I meant the RL01 and RL02 drives, not the RK-drives.
A SCSI controller would open up several possibilities so I guess I'll keep my eyes open and will see what pops up. The parallel port question was a long-shot. I have one of those ZIP-100s laying around. I have an internal ZIP-100 SCSI in my Amiga 2000 and an external SCSI for my Amiga 500. - Peter On Fri, Aug 7, 2026 at 8:13 PM Ethan Dicks via cctalk <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Aug 6, 2026 at 12:31 PM Peter Ekstrom via cctalk > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I keep coming back to wanting a removable physical media other than RX33 > > for my 11/23+... > > > > While an RK05 or RK07 drive would be really neat, I don't really have > room > > for something like that. > > The RKV11 controller is somewhat rare (and only supports 16-bit DMA, > intended for an LSI-11) and there is no Qbus version of the RK611 > controller. > > > Alternatively, has anyone ever tried to use a parallel ZIP-100 on a > PDP-11? > > I am not aware of anyone using parallel ZIP drives on anything but a > PC parallel port.
