That doesn't sound very "classic" at all, with the exception of
the VAX, which is a very late model anyway. :-(

TU81 doesn't sound classic? Or were you just considering that to be
part of the VAX?

Dave, are you not familiar with RAMAC?
Could they really still have a running RAMAC? I wasn't sure if that
name had maybe been recycled by IBM for something more reset (like,
say from the 70s ;)

Ah-ha! Turns out that IBM used the name "RAMAC Disk Array" in the 1980s.
LOL, no way were they looking for someone to support the whopping FIVE
MEGABYTE classic RAMAC.

Yes I am, both the first RAMAC circa 1956 which stood for Random
Access Method of Accounting and Control, and IBM's current large-scale
storage technology which is also called RAMAC, which stands for Raid
Architecture with Multilevel Adaptive Cache.
