The RD53s in both Microvax 2000s are dead. I'm reluctant to buy more 30+ year old

If I'm going to buy a disk emulator, I'd much prefer SCSI to MFM, for the obvious
performance reasons.
Emulators presumably act, performance wise, like SSDs. Given that, an MFM emulator will
significantly outperform a SCSI hard drive since it has no seek delays.
David Gesswein's MFM emulator works impressively well and is inexpensive, too.
