I have inherited a PDP11/84 with a single RL02 disk.  When I attempt to boot the disk (using a pre-genned RSX distribution) I get an ERROR 20 - Controller Error.  I have sent the controller out to DECMAILER, but the same error persists.  I've also tried a second RL02 drive just in case - same error.  The problem is that I do not have any hardware documentation at all.  Does any one out there still have these beasts up and running?  If so, could you please send me a more verbose statement of ERROR 20, or an

y other insights (other than scrap it!).  The controller I have is marked M7762 (RLV11 I think).

Please e-mail responses directly to:
