Any replies would be appreciated, acyoung@sunrise.acs.syr.edu My experiences with an RA70 is that it is a Dec DSA drive of ?? meg (200 or so sticks in my mind). Ah, it would be a bit difficult to hook up to an AT. You'd have to get some controller which would hook up to a DSA disk and give you some type of reasonable output, maybe SCSI or IDE. I'd bet the SCSI might be available but it could be expensive. For that size disk you probably can get a good pc disk of the same size and speed for less money. bruce -- Bruce O'Neel oneel@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov NASA/GSFC/STX/Code 664
