If your machine has CI, you can pick up HSJ controllers pretty readily, and they'll
work with StorageWorks shelves of common 4GB SCSI drives. Star couplers - an essential
part of the CI interconnect system - can be hard to come by these days, but I happen to
have a stash. :-) The HSJ is nice because you can do mirror sets, stripe sets and
incorporate other storage such as CDROM and tape. Cheers -- Ian
PS: congratulations on the acquisition!

Subject: Vax 11/750 disks
Hi all.
I have a Vax 11/750 coming my way. It currently has a three RA81 disks
in a half-height rack. I feel that the RA81 takes up a little too much
room. I would rather run on as small disks as possible (physical size of
course). What options do I have? I believe that RA90 would work with
existing controllers and I could fit one or two of those into a rack I
already have.
Kind regards,
Pontus.
