I have a couple of RA70s I want to fit into a BA213, but except for staring at a wall of them and not having to do much, I didn't interact with the RA92s at the one place where we had them. My memory is that they were pretty sturdy, but all rotating media fails eventually. Since I have more than a couple UDA50s and KDA50s and even a KDB50 (for my 8200), I'm kinda tied to SDI disks one way or another. I can find alternatives for Unibus and Qbus, but I don't know that I'd ever find an alternative for the VAXBI bus (there _were_ SCSI controllers for VAXBI, but they were $10K once upon a time, and I can't imagine they ever made a lot of them). -ethan

It is the 21ED interfaced used on the IBM System 36 and 38's The origional drives were 30mb but there was a later 60mb version. I dont know of anything else that used them. Bob On Thu, 15 Jan 2009 18:33:09 +0100, Oliver Lehmann wrote:
