Simulated disk drive for RT-11?

[David Betz]

Is there a description somewhere of all of the BA11-?? variants? It 
seems that there are many of them and they are of various sizes and 
shapes. In fact, I think that the cabinet my 11/23-AH is mounted in is 
a BA11 of some sort (a BA11-AH maybe?) but it is nowhere near as small 
as this BA11-VA that you describe. I've found various lists of QBus 
modules on the net but no list of the various boxes that DEC produced. 
Can someone point me to one?

And, I'll repeat my question, does anyone have one of these small -11 
QBus boxes they'd like to sell or trade? It seems that the BA23 might 
be a good choice as well.

Thanks,
David
