Hello all, I will be receiving a MicroVAX late next week with an RD53 on it. The only problem is that the RD53 will be full and I have to add another drive to it. Now for the question. I have an NEC 2246 8" SMD drive which I would like to attach to the system. I have been informed that I should not try an SC03-BX (due to the RH11 not being supported), but should get either an SC03-MS or QD32. I will go with a QD32 if I have to, but I would like to know if I would somehow be able to use an SC03-MS. So, does anyone have any experience hanging a 2246 off an SC03-MS? Or, alternatively, does anyone have an inexpensive alternative to this SMD configuration? Thanks, Chris Kalisiak kalisiak@acsu.buffalo.edu

Dual-width, much lower power requirements, faster, etc. I have 2 of 'em in use here and they've been very reliable.
