I can't even imagine dragging the RA81s over to the Sun machines 8-0.
If that's even possible.
Not possible. The RA81 is an SDI drive. Which connects it to some MSCP
controller. So it's a completely different technology, and one that does
not use bad144 at all.
I don't think anything except DEC ever used SDI. It was their
technology, but I guess it could have been licensed to others, but I
don't think it ever was.
