I have a PDP-11/03 with a Sykes Twin 8" Floppy Drive unit. It has it's own controller card, so I'm not sure if it's RX01/RX02 compatible. Problem is, I need a bootstrap program for it. I can't find a technical manual for it, so I'm stuck. I see the source for LSX has a driver for the Sykes, so I may be able to install and mount it on MX, which I'm preparing with Noel's help for my machine, without booting from it. I'm hoping that Heinz, or someone who had a Sykes drive in that era still has the bootstrap code.
