MicroVax 2000 external hard drive question

<The drive is growing errors... Each pass through the formatter
<finds additional bad sectors, so I want to disable it and install/

It's crashed. Pull it. Swap the other into the box as they are
interchangeable. Just match the external RD54s jumpers to the defunct
internal one.

<run Ultrix from the external drive (if it is easy) until I get
<around to pulling the internal drive and replacing it. Otherwise,
<I have to disassemble both boxes to swap the drives, which I would
<prefer to avoid (because I'm lazy :)

You'll look longer for the cables and if the VS2000 box does not have the
cable adaptor section where will you plug it? A lot of the VS2000s didn't
have the adaptor (2" bottom addotion), I know I have three that didn't
so doing external cables/drives is a PITA.
