DSD-440 and/or drive recommendation for PDP-8

    I'm looking for a drive for my PDP-8 but I don't want something the
weight and size of a RK-05. I also have several DSD-440 drives available to
me.  Does anyone know if these can be used on the PDP-8 or have any
experience with them? Does anyone know what kind of controller they need
when used in the 8?  Or does anyone have a suggestion about what other
drive can be used with the -8?  I realize that the DSD-440 or other drive
may not be original for the -8 but I just don't want to deal with something
the size, weight and unreliability of a RK-05.
