[comp.unix.wizards] VAX 750 / rp07 question

miorelli@pwa-b.UUCP (BoB Miorelli) (10/28/87)

My sad day is soon approaching -- I must give up my VAX 780 for a VAX 750
on pwa-b.  We are running 4.2BSD, soon to be 4.3.

My question:  I have an RM05 system disk and my second disk is an RP07.
I have heard rumors that the RP07 is not compatible with a 750 since the
transfer rates are too high for the 750 to handle.  I am sure that
this is more of a hardware issue than a Unix question, but ....
Oh yes, the RP07 is set up in interleaved mode (the slower mode).

Any comments would be appreciated.  I would be especially interested
in hearing from anyone using (or had tried) the 750/RP07 combination.

Many thanks for your help.
