Two quick questions, TK70 & DS

Yup, NetBSD noticed the controller and got the drive ID from it (RF71) it was
only when it talked to it that the drive complained. I'm guessing that the
drives may not be formatted (it would make sense).

Another question is that the drives plug into the uVAX
"ready/fault/writeprotect" thingy that sits on the front of the box. Do they
have to? I'm wondering because it is a royal pain to work on these things
inside the vaxserver chassis (BA213) but if I could set them out and on top it
would be easier to see what's going on.

So does anyone have a spare DSSI terminator?
