I'd appreciate input from any users that have added additional
disks to a MicroVax under Ultrix/4.xBSD.
The DEC RD-53 (which is actually a Micropolis disk) sells for about $4K.
The Micropolis #1325 (ST-506 version) sells for about $1K!
Has anyone installed the Micropolis 1325 in place of an RD-53
and are there any differences?  $3K savings is nothing to sneeze at.
Any other suggested disks?

Thanx.
