Well I've got a KDA-50 board set so I'm not
_totally_ out in the cold, but
it sure would be nice to use a drive that a) wasn't 150lbs (RA81) and b)
wasn't 3 feet long (RA92). Neither of which fit in the BA123(? nice
roll-around chassis, card cage is on the right side) enclosures that my 2
MicroVAXen use.
That's what rack's are for :^) I've got a MicroVAX III in storage that I
built to read RL01's and RL02's. It uses 4 RA7x's in enclosures the size of
a RA9x enclosure (I've got two of those as well). The MV3 lives in a 3rd
party rack mount and the whole thing sits in the bottom of an old PDP-11 rack
that I bought empty.
Thankfully I don't have any RA8x drives!
