Hehe, interesting :-)
I might put the dust off an old 11/750 with an RP07 disk and see if
it works with 5.0... :-)

missing. Certainly with 2.0.3. I have not tried anything more recent,
but I will.
mmm. an RP07. Have you spun it up recently?
About a year since last time. I also have a RP06, but the disk formatter
has some problem and I haven't fixed it yet. Usually connected to a
DEC 2020 :-)
Formatter as in software? Just whip some together. The documantation is
available. Or drop by Uppsala and we could format the pack on our 11/70.
No, the hardware. Hm, I think formatter is the corresponding word on
tape drives. Gee, I haven't used these words in so long time so I
may even use the wrong words :-)
The RP07 should not be able to connect to 11/750 due to the high Massbus
data rate, but I have never encountered any problem.
The RP07 can be set to two different transfer speeds. It's a jumper
configuration in the drive, and it just changes the data transfer speed.
If it's set to the lower speed an 11/750 should probably be fine. Don't
know if it was officially supported though.
It wasn't. I assume that even with the lower speed (1300KB/s) so could
it be too high if multiple disks were connected, or something. RM80 was
supported though (1200KB/s).
