RK06/RK07 were supported on the VAX-11/780. I used them at DEC in Parker St., Maynard,
MA in 1980.

I can't remember whether the RK05 was supported by VMS?
I don't think it was. Neither was the RK06/RK07, but I believe it shipped with a
driver for those.

I think it was a DECUS submitted driver.
RK06/RK07's were supported at one time on the RK611 IIRC.
I think they were on the first 11/780's back in the late '70's. Minimum
11/780 config I saw on DECnotes at one time was an RK06/RK07 with 128MB of Memory used for
minimum price Vax sales.
Never saw real ones in the field with smaller disks than an RM03 as the main disk.
