> Much lighter than the 1.5GB RA92 though!
I thought I was good carrying 4 RA70s upstairs to test
:)
Interestingly (or not), there are enclosures for series 7 drives
that hold 4 of them and fit in exactly the same racking as DEC
reserved for the 9 series drives. You could mix and match
both in the same cabinet with no change in brackets.
As discovered with the RA90 fitting in a SF200 rack.
DEC must have thought this out pretty well, but Wikipedia
actually credits the RA9 series for wrecking the company.
