Don't know the 8600. Wasn't the RL02 on the 11/730 actually connected

10M disk, did it?
More interesting is that All-In-One for the VAX
comes on RX02 and
RL02 disks.
I wasn't aware that the VAX or VMS even supported RX or RL disks.
Sure. The 8600 and 11/730 used an RL02 as the boot/startup media. RX02 is a bit odd, but I could see that being
supported on a Unibus
adapter which existed for the big systems and the BI systems.
But the question
would have been why? :-)
Maybe the 11/730 was the entry level All in One, at least before
Microvax became popular
Maybe, but can you see a small office running an 11/730 just to get
those particular
apps? :-)
