In reading Chaim's FAQ, I was surprised to see a paragraph toward the
beginning that said that the PRO could handle the RD53 71MB hard disk.

Can anyone verify this?  Does it matter if I am on a PRO 350 or 380?
Does it matter if I am on P/OS or Venix?  

I tried to put an RD53 in a PRO and got an HD diagnostic message upon
power up.  

I also found that Venix 1.0 wouldn't recognize the RD52 38MB HD (it
formatted it as if it were an RD50 5MB HD).

I'm still looking for Venix 2.1 for the PRO (Dan Lanciani are you still
out there?).

Also, now that we have TeleDisk, shall we set up some FTP archives for
PRO software?  Is this something that DECUS could be doing, so as to
bypass the overhead of Media/Copying charges?
