We have a PDP 11/70 running 2.8BSD.  We are thinking of getting
a MicroVax II, and getting Berkeley Vax Unix to run on that.  Instead
of trying to get networking going on our 11/70, we thought we'd
get a Systems Industries disk and controller that will be shared
by the two machines.  Is this a reasonable approach?  Our
expectation is that file systems on the shared disk will be
accessible to users of both Unixes.  Are the 2.8/4.2 file systems
identical?  Can we just "mount" a shared file system on each of
the systems, so that the directories and files in that file
system appear in the directory paths of users on both machines?

I would appreciate any comments on this.  Thanks!
