Alcatel Thompson has a GIGADISC company (210 Avenue I, Suite D, Redondo
Beach CA 90277 (213)543-5537).  Their disc unit uses 1 GB discs,
sells for $15200 with a SCSI interface.  Apparently Emulex makes a UC13
Unibus interface that'll interface to that; somehow it's supposed
to emulate a DEC disk, so no new driver?  I haven't looked into it
any farther than that, and those interfacing statements may well be
hogwash.  But there are opdisks out there now, and it may be possible
to put one on a VAX.
