PDP-10 Disk Pack Systems

This document provides an overview of the PDP-10 Disk Pack Systems. Key components include:

• RP10 Disk Pack Drive Controller: Provides control for up to eight disk drives and manages direct memory transfers via the DF10 Data Channel.
• RP01 Disk Pack Drive: Features a high-speed linear positioner, provides approximately 1.3 million 36-bit words of storage on removable 10-surface packs, and supports an average access time of 50 ms.
• RP02 Disk Pack Drive: Offers four times the capacity of the RP01, with approximately 5.2 million 36-bit words of storage on 20-surface packs, featuring a high-speed linear positioner and dynamic disk brake.

The document includes technical specifications for both drives, such as dimensions, weight, power requirements, and operational organization, and notes that removable packs facilitate additional off-line storage.
