Hmmm, you can hand almost any kind of disks on an 11/34. For MASSBUS
disks, you'll need a massbus interface. All Unibus controllers
can be used right away. (I think)
Recommend you get something bigger than RK05. They are only 3.5Mbyte
a piece.

Yes, TECO-11 is available for RT-11. It should actually be on the
RT-11 distribution I think.

We have an 11/34 with RSX-11M running here.
It has 1 meg of memory, one RL01, one RL02 and one RM03.
One DH-11 (16 terminal ports). Great fun...
By "we", I mean the computer club in Uppsala, Update.
