I used to have an 11/725 w/RC25 (long story). I didn't think the drive
was all that awful. It only had one motor, so you couldn't change
cartridges without spinning down the fixed platter too, but that was
only a problem occasionally. I was running VMS 4.6 on it, but a buddy
of mine in Granville, OH, was (barely) running VMS 5.0 on it and using
his 11/725 as a boot node for diskless workstations.
What was so terrible about it?
