  Well, after deciding to upgrade my system
from a 34a to a 23+, I've run into a snag.
I've been able to get my rl02 drives working
on my 23+ and booting rsx-11 ver 4.0 and
everything else but when I moved my Kennedy 5300
drive over I ran into problem.
  I'm using a SC02/A rp02/03 compatible controller
from Emulex. (circa 1981)
  I have the Emulex board looking for a drive which 
has 700 physical cylenders, 5 tracks and 35 Sectors.
I believe I have the Kennedy drive set up correctly.
 I hardware format the drive using the Emulex controller's
on board formatter,
   @776714/1
   @776714/14003
  
  to format drive 0

  I then boot rsx-11 off the rl02. I have rp02s in my sysgen
and the kennedy worked off this sysgen on the 34a. When I try
to INIT 
  > ini dp0:
 
 I get the message, searching for bad block file
or sofething to the equivilent. I'm going to try to run
BAD tonite after work when I get it from a friend, but
has anyone had expeiriance with this setup before?
  Thanks
