One more hard drive that will work with Rainbow...

	Rodime RO-202
	10 MB, ST-506 interface
	2 disks, 4 heads, 320 cylinders

Can be formatted with DEC's own WUP-package but will give only
about 9.5 MB storage (due to the severe braindamages in DEC's
formatters, they assume the drive has n x 306 cylinders where
n=1, 2).  More recommendable is to format the drive with WUTIL
and make new boot loaders with DSKPREP.  This will give you the
whole storage capacity.

Best regards,
Jari.
