RA71 all alone?

[Brad Parker]

Hi,

[dec pdp-11 question]

anyone know if I can use a RA71 drive all by it's lonesome with an UDA50?

I have some RA90's which are working fine but I found a naked RA71
recently and was wondering if I can use it.  (probably not without some
sort of controller board, but I thought I'd ask)

It has a obvious molex power connector and three .1" headers.  Two of
the headers look like they want to accept the 8 pin plug from my UDA 50
:-)

probably wishful thinking.

(I've been running the RA90's straight from the UDA50 with the 'red cable';
this has been working fine and doesn't violate the 'odd # of cables' rule)
