I have a RA82 in the bottom of the TU81+, and a RA92 in the bottom of the
VAX 6320. Perhaps soon I will be able to boot the newest addition to the
VAXherd, a VAX 4000 200, via the RA82. I'll worry about PAKs later, I
guess.

How cool is a console port on a harddrive? Would an 313373 hAx0r
understand the rush of loggin in to your mass storage device?

I wouldn't mind another RA92 in the VAX either.
