Well, you can fit VMS onto an R(M,A, )80 drive with no problem, the
mighty 11/730 is living proof.
RD54's though are a lot less power hungry.

like that from the 80's into the early 00's. Albeit with another RD54 for the
user software, and another two RD54's for analysis data. However, SCSI or a solid
state solution is a markedly better solution.

Q-bus disk options, using uSD or recent media,
