[comp.sys.dec] RQDX3 Compatible disks

Chip_N_Oliver@cup.portal.com (09/08/88)

I am looking for information on using drives other than DEC drives
on an RQDX3 controller.  This is really a two part question as
I am interested in both the floppy and HD aspects.  For instance,
although an RD54 is a Maxtor XT2190, I have heard (from a questionable
source) that these drives are first somehow modified.

AS far as the floppies are concerned, I am interested in whether
the commonly available (read: PC) 1.2M drives will work in place
of the RX33.

Thanks in advance.  Please email replies (and requests for summary).
