I have an H47 and it was reliable (I haven't used it for a few years)
except for one problem: about every three months the drive belt would
slip off and I would have to pull the drive from the case and put it
back on. I got to point where it didn't take long, and it sure was
handy having 2MB of disk space rather than the ~coupleK of two hard
sectored disks. I have the hard-sectored disks in the H89 cabinet in
the form of a dual-drive "DAM" floppy, for which DEC later bought the
design and turned into the RX50.
