Don't forget these worked with Ultrix, too. Although for most ultrix

You could put any external scsi device on them (I think even tape drives)
but we used them for CDROM distribution at the university where I dealt with

Not just because CD drives were expensive, but also because
for certain VMS systems there just wasn't an easy way to
hook up a CD drive (depending on the bus and storage options).
