Ahh, you metric folk! ;)
The M2322K and family are indeed standard 8" form factor drives.
They're not called "Eagles" though, as far as I'm aware. I really
like those drives. Take an M2322K (or the larger M2372K/M2382K
models), stick it on an Emulex QD32 or QD33 controller, stick it in a
QBUS VAX...Nice! :-)
An interesting note...The HDA of an Eagle or Super Eagle drive is a
big aluminum casting that, to me, very much resembles the engine of a
Volkswagen. ;)
