Any idea of the capacity of these and wether they are worth having ?.
They came from a big vax site although they may not have been used
with them.
Thanks

The pictures looks "squished", and I think the rack is taller than it
appears. The name "Liberator 220" doesn't sound familiar, but I'm
guessing it's a 3rd party equivalent of RA9x drives.

It might be worth having then. Although the shipping is quite high, It
would solve the problem of having no scsi on the 4000's. Do you know
how quick they are compared to ordinary dssi drives. I have a hsd05
and it is very slow.

I have no idea. I never used
my Liberator. I got it with a lot of other
VAX and HP9000/700 stuff. It was a "take nothing or all" deal and I
wanted the HP9000 K-Class... As I already own enough VAXen and didn't
need just an other MV4k200 and a stack of VS3k1, I gave all the VAX
stuff away, only the Liberator and the SCSI-to-CI HSC are left.
Some day I'll get a VAX 6000 and then I'll have a use for that stuff.
