Does anyone make an inexpensive winchester disk subsystem
for the Unibus. By this I mean a system with at least 20meg,
low maintenance cost, and a purchase cost of around $5k.

Right now we are running a PDP11/44 with RL01s and RL02s.
These are slow, expensive to maintain, and take a lot of
space. 

What I describe seems to be available for the Q-bus and most
kinds of microcomputers. I haven't seen anything for the
Unibus for much less than $10K.
