The PDP11 Diagnostic Handbook says that ZRKJ?? "checks only the
drive-independent logic of the RK11 controller. no drive is
needed..." I assumed that meant it was a diskless test, but now I'm
not sure that's true. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Does anyone
have a listing of ZRKJE0?

I'm starting to wonder if this diagnostic really works w/o a drive
attached, or if these errors are expected.
Yes.. it only requires the controller. See the notes in the listing.
