< since getting a RL02 hooked up to the one /23 would take a lot of work, That isn't a bad task. Put the controller in the system if you have the right box, plug in the cables, power and your off. < I've been stuck dialed into work. Besides it sounds like a drive format < on a VS2000 can then be used on a RQDX3 without any problem. Yes, that works well. < 1 down 4 to go. At least I've got one good drive out of the deal so it < worth it, even if the rest are bad! Now I've got a RD52 for that /23. : An 11/23 with RD52 is a good system with any OS 'cept maybe unix. I run RT-11 on it and it's very roomy. Allison
