Actually, if you just use the DSP90's for disk servers then 3MB should
be enough memory. We have an old DSP80 which is still chugging along
with 1.5 MB (the max!), and as long as we are CRP'ed onto it trying
to run the tape drive it runs just fine. If you want a multibus, you
can get a DN570/580/590 or a DN10000 - both of which are expensive.
It's cheaper to buy a DN3000 and a couple of 350 MB disks than it is
to buy a DN5xx just to plug the old MSD500 drives into.
