- Makes sense. I am using a non-standard drive, a Seagate ST-225,
- which has dimensions of 655x4. I dont know what the comparable
- DEC 20megger (RD52?) size is. I once talked to the dec techincian
- and was told that they used Seagate drives back in those days.
-
- I'm not even sure if Venix 1.1 officially supported 20mb drives.
