Anyone have any experience with the 9751/9761 "C" series disks from System Industries? These are supposed to be DEC RAxx emulators -- plug 'em right in to your HSC, UDA50 or KDB50 -- no special device drivers or anything. They are especially appealing since I can get them for about half what DEC will charge me for RA81s. Comments from anyone, satisfied or otherwise, about performance, reliability, whatever will be appreciated. -Ken Burner Carnegie-Mellon Computing Center -------

I cannot comment on the RAxx emulator stuff (though it sounds attractive, I am tired of applying patches to DRDRIVER), but in our experience the 9751 (Eagle) and 9761 (Condor) drives are excellent. Reliability at our site has been good. /Kevin Carosso kvc%engvax.uucp@csvax.caltech.edu Hughes Aircraft Co.
