Summary: Using RX02's on a microvax


  You are correct about not having the DYDRIVER in microvms.  I 
have been told that as of version 5.0, DEC will dispense with
the microvms distinction, and distribute only VMS with all its
glory (device drivers etc...).  Getting back to the question of
using DEC RX02's in a microvax, assuming you did get DYDRIVER, I
dont think that it will work.  The reason being: the RXV21 (M8029)
floppy interface card was built before the Q22 bus was around, hence
I believe its only an 18 bit interface card.  This is only conjecture
since I dont know for sure.  Check it out anyway.
