Given about $20,000 to $30,000 to spend on a disk drive for a
VAX-11/785 running 4.3BSD, which already has two rm80s and one rp07 on
the massbus, can I do better than buying an RA81 from DEC?  How much
better?

Reliable on-site maintenance is essential.  (Location:  Muncie,
Indiana, about 50 miles from Indianapolis).  Please send email if you
have suggestions.  I will summarize a few weeks from now.
