Subject: Hard Disk for my -8A

With all the successes I've had in the last few days on other projects
(the 11/44 now boots and hopefully will be running Unix by the end of
the weekend) I've been thinking about my -8A again. Whilst floppies are
nice? I think a hard disk would be quieter! What sort of hard disks are
supported? In particular, can I connect an RL02 (I have a spare one or
two from the -11 project)?

The RL01 and RL02 can be connected, if you have the RL8A controller.
Not that common, though. Much easier to find RK8E controllers, and
hook up RK05J (or RK05F) to it.
However, the RK05 media is different for 12-bit and 16-bit machines.
