Data General 6050 Cartridge Disk Drive

I know this is a pretty long shot, but does anyone happen to have any service or maintenance manuals on the DG 6050 disk drive that have a procedure for adjusting the servo control circuit board? Or does anyone know anything about doing this? Thanks

Problem with RF73 DSSI disk

Since the capacity of 2x RF31 and 1x RF71 disks is a little bit low for VMS with some compilersi (~400MB every disk), I've looked for a bigger disk, at least for the sytem itself. (I've already relocated the pagefile to the 2nd disk). Ok, there are RF73 available at ebay US for $100, but

I just installed Kyle Owen's Serial Disk Server on my 8/A (at high speed via an Omni-USB card I got from Philipp Hachtmann). There was a bit of a learning curve for me since I've never used any *nix programs before, or heard of Cygwin... But Kyle was very helpful, exchanging several emails
