	The only problem I see with this is the price.  I added a Conner
CP-3100 to my MicroVAX 3100.  For what DEC is charging for the RZ23, I can
buy four of the CP-3100s.  It is essentially the same drive manufactured
by Conner, with DEC's configuration and labelling added.  With a bit of
research I'm sure you can get a much better drive for your dollar, if not
the same drive.
