The company I work for is planning to purchase a Vax 750 and run VMS and some
flavor of Unix.  We would like to use a spare RP06 that we have as the only
disk drive on this system (it is not going to be a major user system).  We had
heard informally that this is possible without much (any?) trouble.  Today, our
DEC salesman informed me that VMS on a 750 does not support the RP06 as the
system device.  Do I believe him (he wants to sell us a disk drive I think)?

Also, I presume that at least some flavor of Unix supports the RP06?

I am not yet on the INFO-VAX mailing list, so please respond directly.

Thanks.
