I have used an RLV12 in a uVAX-II (in a BA-23 upgraded by DEC from uVAX-I
to uVAX-II, just for painful accuracy). It's one of my favorite ways of
migrating smallish amounts of data between DEC boxes not on the same
wires (site-to-site moves), at least it was back in the days of 1200 baud
dial-up. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a VW Beetle with a backseat
full of 10Mb removable cartridges.

Good plan. Eventually, I plan to do something similar. My problem
at the moment is a lack of happy RD54s in my BA123. I'm about to
stick a KDA-50 in that puppy and fire up my MBA ESDI<->SDI box that
happens to have a couple of 1.2Gb 5.25" disks in it. If that doesn't
do it, there's an RA-81 in the same rack as the MBA box, but I'd rather
not heat my house with it.
