[net.periphs] RA81 for uVAX II -- info request

mike@ut-ngp.UUCP (Mike O'Donnell) (08/05/86)

I posted this request to a couple of other news groups but missed
posting this request here.  We have a uVAX II in a BA123 enclosure
in addition to an external cabinet that only contains a 9-track mag
tape drive.  I am interested in adding an RA81 drive, putting the 
drive in the external cabinet.  DEC sales reps here in Austin do
not seem to know if this can be done.  DEC tech consulting is not 
much help either.  From some of the e-mail responses that I have 
received, it appears that some people have managed to do it.  Note
however that the messages were not real descriptive and I had to
do a little reading between the lines.  Any info will be greatly
appreciated.  I am also open to other suggestions.  We are considering
a FUJI/Emulex disk/controller setup and any comments will prove helpful.

Thanks, Mike O'Donnell
