I pulled two RA70 disks from a pair of VAX-3500s that I have. By some
miracle both drives spin up and go ready when the Operator Control
Panel is connected. I was thinking that one of these drives would work
nicely with the UDA50 disk controller in the 11/44 until I can get the
RA81s sorted out.
These drives are supposed to work with the Operator Control Panel.
There is a button on the back of the drive that says Unit Number
Accept. I pushed the button both before and after power up, but the
RA70 does not spin up.
Anyone have a manual for this drive or know how to get it work without
connecting an OCP?
