I just looked. The drive is actually an RF72... and it has a boring

in the RF71 was a VAX.
It is?? Wow that is VERY cool. Which chip did they use? Any disk drive that can give you a command prompt of
sorts is still
pretty cool though.
The oldest one I know of is the RA81, and what's more, I've _used_ the
serial port to dignose HDA problems. Very handy.
