Does anyone know whether an RD-53 shipped in a VaxStation 2000 will be
format-compatible with the "same" unit found in a uVAX-II with an RQDX-3
controller?

What I really want to know is whether I can remove a VaxStation's disk, install
it in a BA-123 chassis, load it and then reinstall it.  We plan to fire up an
NI cluster eventually, but I want to avoid putting that in series with using
the stations we have on order.
