Datri) Organization: The Stepstone Corporation, Sandy Hook, CT Lines: 14 I've got an external RD53 here (ie., a box with a power supply and an overprice disk in it), and I'd like to hang it off a hitherto diskless Microvax 2000. Do I have to buy one of the "adapter boxes" from DEC to give me the connector, or can I sneak the cable off the internal controller out of the box, or should I just rip the drive out of the external box and jam it into the uv2000? Any comments appreciated. -- @disclaimer(Any concepts or opinions above are entirely mine, not those of my employer, my GIGI, or my 11/34) beak is beak is not Anthony A.
