Subject: Re: A VAX 6610 is rolling toward my garage ...
I have several hundred pounds of SDI drives.
I'd be happy with a
couple for show (and interchange, perhaps), but SCSI for better
You just said you had a couple SDI drives... :)
Considering an RA8x weighs in around 64Kg, yes. :^)
Indeed... I have a working RA81 in a rack next to the 8200. I have a
probably-defective RA81 on the floor next to it (have been playing with
the internal serial diagnostic connector and I think the
replacement HDA is dead). I also have an RA81 in storage.
Fortunately, I have some smaller stuff, too - an MBA ESDI<->SDI box
with a pair of 1.2GB ESDI disks, and a couple of RA70s.
I have a RA82 in the bottom of the TU81+, and a RA92 in the bottom of the
VAX 6320. Perhaps soon I will be able to boot the newest addition to the
VAXherd, a VAX 4000 200, via the RA82. I'll worry about PAKs later, I
guess.
How cool is a console port on a harddrive? Would an 313373 hAx0r
understand the rush of loggin in to your mass storage device?
My goal is to shed all but one RA81 and keep the 5.25" drives.
I wouldn't mind another RA92 in the VAX either.
