OOPS !!!
Actually should've been 32KW (64MB) of memory. Been working with too
many Sun Workstations and Athlons lately...

Clean the heads and install a new RK05 pack and it'll probably work.
I had one RK05J that crashed on a platter with a 1/4" ding in it. (DEC
security confiscated it from me at training an shipped it back in a box
standing on one end (up against the plastic covered case screw).

Crash, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Sounded like a bell at every hit.
Cleaned heads, new pack, ran error free.

Gee, I don't know.
I do know that one ran a year or so with RT11 and the absolute filter cap still
on the filter (was real warm in the drive, though). Idiot who installed
it should've been shot...
