Was: UDA50----cable----->RA81

Should be: UDA50------->box from bottom of RA rack------>RA81

Is this correct?
The RA81 was in a separate rack with 2 other RAs. I got it, the little
box that the SDI cables plugged into at the bottom of the rack, and the
terminator box. It is now sitting on top of the PDP cabinet.

Does sitting it on the cabinet count?
I'd rack mount it, but I'd get a hernia doing it.
I'd get Jeff to do it, maybe he could smash the OTHER foot...
(He has broken the SAME FOOT 3 TIMES THIS YEAR! [Clutz!])
That waits till I get that little ladder, it's the right height to hold it
for me.

They end up all on, I think. It's not here in front of me (Wish it was!)
I'll post that later.

I have plugged a terminal into the drive and tested it as per the
documentation. It passed all the tests.
That's a neat trick! Like to see an IDE of SCSI disk do that...
Is there a list of commands that the drive understands?
