  Heh. The RA81 HDA was an often-failed component. I had
a deal to buy two racks of RA81's several years ago from a surplus computer dealer -
and when I went to go take a look at them, it was painfully obvious that every one of them
was missing the HDA. Just the motor and the boards/PSU were in the boxes, the entire HDA
was missing. Apparently they must have sold off the HDA's a long time ago. Wait!
 I could get money for a RA81 HDA?  Hmmm.  Maybe have to rethink 
my offer to give Dave my complete RA81.

Just kidding, Dave.  The drive is yours as soon as you figure out how to 
get it from here to there.

BTW, in case people haven't figured out, I am subscribed to the digest 
version of the list, so I don't see messages as they are posted to the 
list and can't reply in real time.
