Greetings all;

A while back I saw an offer for a limited production of Henk Gooijen's wonderful pdp11 disk drive and rack mount--somewhere. I think, and hope that I signed up for this.

Looking back I cannot find information about that project. I just want to read about it.

Can anybody please provide a link to this project for me? I mean the production project. The one coming out of Panama.

I would also like confirmation that I am on the list to purchase that if possible.

Kind thanks;
Jeffrey (K8JEF)

I can't speak for Henk's and Oscar's current status on the RK05 project, but my recollection is that it has yet to be "productized." I think Oscar's email indicated there was redesign work required to be able to reproduce the RK05 cartridge and the drive housing within the PiDP fabrication facility in a cost effective way.

I'm having trouble locating the email right now that reflects my understanding.  Probably someone will either confirm or deny this before I can locate the email.

Regards,
Glenn
