[HECnet] Drives for a VAX-11/730

From: Johnny Billquist <bqt at softjar.se> While the Massbus adapter talked SMD for all these drives, the Massbus adapter for the RM02/03 is not the same as for the RM05. Unless I remember wrong, they are very different beasts. And they identify themself as the exact type of drive on the Massbus as well, and the capacities and geometries differs, which is important, as Massbus drives expose all these details to the computer. The RM adapter is *mostly* the same across RM02/03/05/80, but yes I think in each case there's at least one board that's different (later version to add register bits for larger drives etc.). It's the same basic design though. The one in the RM05 is mounted differently (horiz instead of vert) so you can fit two of them into the mini-cab between two drives. The others all had enough space under the drive itself for the RM adapter so they didn't bother trying to conserve space. John Wilson D Bit
