Well it may be moot if the tape is destroyed, however the plan was to
install it on an 11/23 using a Sigma RQDE11 (Webster licensed) board. I can
tell it to report back to RSX any set of disks I would like. The trick is
whether or not RSX will do the MSCP thing. (RT-11 won't for example until
5.1 :-()
