I am interested in purchasing a winchester disk drive which is
compatible with the interface cable for RL02 disk drives.

I know there are many manufacturers making RL02 look alikes, but I
don't want to have to change/replace/remove the DEC controller plugged
into my UNIBUS.  I want the DEC controller to talk to both the
winchester and a RL02 drive.  Installing a winchester in this manner
would provide the following benefits:

  1.  DEC service people can still use their RL02 diagnostic pack.

  2.  I can still use the RL02 for removable storage.

  3.  I don't eat up any more UNIBUS slots.

  4.  I don't have to change or add device driver software.

To any DEC representatives on the net:
If the reason these are not available is because the bus is
proprietary, why don't you folks market one of these?
