So *THAT* is what an 11/725 is! <shudder> Isn't the RC25 one of those drives
that rates about the same if not worse than a RD53? What I was refering to
is that VMS V5.1 is the last version to support it.
Hmmm, now I'm going to have to dig up one of my catalogues and see if it's
the 11/725 or another system that I saw a picture of and thought it looked
cool. Could very well be, is the 11/725 a really tiny system that could go
beside a desk?

Well, you're not as bad off as I was
thinking, must have been mixing you up
with a VAX-11/725.
Hey! What's wrong with the 11/725? I used to have one until the company
that was borrowing it folded. I didn't find out until my VAX was gone. :-(
Essentially, it was an 11/730 w/RC25 as the primary disk device, but you
*could* stick other stuff in there. I even knew a company that ran a BA-11
box off of theirs, but DEC *did not* support that configuration.
It was a packaging issue. There should be no way to tell an 11/725 from
an 11/730 in software.
