Partitioned RL02 for 2.9BSD

[Line eater repellent]

I'm looking for an RL02 device handler for 2.9BSD with partitioning.
We have a 11/23+ with ~132kb memory, 2 RL02's, and two terminal ports.
We're trying to configure this essentially as an single user system
communicating with a VAX 11/750 running 4.2BSD either with berknet or
uucp.

The problem is swap space.  Since swapping requires an entire partition,
and the 2.9 RL02 handler gives only one partition per drive, we're stuck
with 10MB of swap space for a single user system, which is ridiculous.

If we could get an RL02 handler that has partitioning we could set aside
maybe three megs for swap space and have our second drive available for
file storage.

Any help with this problem will be appreciated.
