Hi all,

Just pulled a Micropolis 85Mb MFM Hdd out of a genuine, but dead, IBM 286.
Model is 1335, and is also marked as being an ST506.
Am I correct in assuming it would work in a Microvax II that presently has
a single RD53, as a second drive?
If so, is there deep magic involved in the install?
I seem to recall seeing something about needing special
software that is not supplied with the Microvax to put in a
non DEC drive.
The Microvax is currently running VMS 5.4

TIA
