Has anyone out there had any experience with Eagle disk drives sporting a DSA compatible (what DEC's RA-series drives plug into) interface? Especially System Industries' product. I have an unused IDTC (basically a UDA-50 on a dedicated UNIBUS) in my 8600 that I'd like to hang some SI 9751s (Eagles) off of. I'd like to hear anything, good or bad, from someone who's tried out RA emulation. If it works out ok, it'd save me having to purchase another SI controller. Thanks, /Kevin Carosso kvc%engvax.uucp@usc-oberon.usc.edu Hughes Aircraft Co.

Kevin, We have an SI 9761-C disk drive on a KDB-50 (BI bus controller) on a Vax 8500. We are running Ultrix T2.0-1 and have had no trouble at all with the configuration so far. We do also have one RA-81. Dan
