Hey guys,
I just ran across a couple of DEC RA60 (removable pack) drives
and a HSC40 controller at a local dealer. They know _nothing_
about this stuff, save that it's _heavy_.
Normally, I would not hesitate, but my collection is starting
to get out of hand, and I have to start limiting myself...eventually ;-)
If this is the case, now might be the time to start limiting yourself.
The HSC would need its bootable media, probably CRONIC on 5.25" floppies.
You would need a CI card, cables and star coupler. (You did not say if
you have these already)
The RA60's are small capacity power eaters. You're probably better
watching for a HSJx0 on ebay and running your cluster via scsi.
