I'll second Tony's comments
re:maintenance&alignment. We've had two
RL01's running on a 11/23 since 1980 and one RL02 on a 11/45 since
1991 and I can recall just one head crash in all that time. I'm no longer
on the maintenance side, but I don't believe anyones changed the filters
in the last 5 years. (I am not recommending this aproach)
My view on this is to run RL02's and/or SCSI. I've got both on my /44, and
I seriously expect the RL02's to be running *long* after the two RZ55's and
thier replacements have died. The *only* downside I see to RL01's and
RL02's is the physical size and capacity of the drives.
The fact that my drives even work is a major testimony to thier reliability!
As they weren't treated the best before I got them.
