Then, how on earth does one *put* a boot block on it in the first place? :) 
Or is this one of those things that you had to buy pre-installed from DEC?
Also, will an RD53 work on this controller? I've had the same results
with the RD53 and a couple of assorted disk drives out of PC clones..

Btw. I also tried booting an RT-11 floppy from my 11/23+ but "obviously" 
that didn't work. Which is kind of a bummer... It would have been nice.
