I did the cutting and it works. It looks like the NetBSD RL02 driver
suffers a bit from bitrot, but I was able to transfer data from and to
the disk. I didn't like the modification but I needed a quick solution
as I am using this VAX with a 9 track tape and the RL02 as exhibition
object at the BSD booth at the LinuxTag fair. It is really nice to see
the big eyes of these PeeCee folks when they look at this VAX with great
unbelive... :-)
