Phew, that's a long list. I can't give you all, but I can list some from
my head atleast.
And these are just older DEC drives. You are aware of the fact that
PDP-11s can have SCSI disks, which means you can grab almost any current
SCSI disk as well?

Okay... Here we go:

Type	Capacity

RS series
RS03	512 Kbyte
RS04	1 Mbyte

RF series
RF11	512 Kbyte

RK series
RK02	1.2 Mbyte
RK03	2.5 Mbyte
RK05	2.5 Mbyte
RK06	14 Mbyte
RK07	28 Mbyte

RL series
RL01	5 Mbyte
RL02	10 Mbyte

RM series
RM02	63 Mbyte
RM03	63 Mbyte
RM05	256 Mbyte
