The answer seems to be: quite practical. > Dave made a DF32/DS32 emulator: https://www.pdp8online.com/dfds32/emulator/index.shtml Constructing an RK05 emulator would be very handy, for sure. I have toyed with the idea for those that want to spin rust on a PDP-8 (but only have 12-sector packs) to have a timing converter within the RK05 that uses a PLL to generate 16 sector pulses from 12, and can auto-detect when a real 16-sector pack is spinning (to pass the sector pulses through directly). Has this been done? Kyle
