Hmmm... is that the 600 MB 8.5 ms average seek disk they sold with the MicroVAX? Some friends of mine recently acquired a 16 year old MicroVAX in working order (except for one disk with a dead PSU) with two RA81 disks. They (four people) had to remove the disks to even be able to lift the MicroVAX (using straps) and IIRC none of them could carry a disk by himself either. The problem they face now is cooling. Even with one disk out the heat this thing generates is unbearable (we're talking high-eighties- low-nineties room temperature) Oh, and they have a PDP-11 too, and a Flipper (I bet none of you have even heard of those, much less of DolphinOS, except tegge) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - dag-erli@ifi.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
