Actually you've got me thinking there. Considering that RAM is dirt cheap
these days. I'm wondering what it would take to build a RL02 drive that is
actually a RAM disk (of course you'd be able to fit several disks on one
stick of RAM), and what kind of performance you'd get. Off course I'm not a
hardware type, so I don't know how hard that would be.

Aren't the 4MB MicroVAX I boards the same as a 4MB MicroVAX II board? I've
never even seen a MicroVAX I, so I really don't have a clue on this.
