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. thanks, -andy
