It's probably been discussed here already, but I must have missed it.
I am aware that that RD5[34] disks are Maxtor assemblies, that the RZ2[23]
disks are Connor, but what about the new RZ24, and the RZ5[5-7] disks?
I'm betting that these are also Maxtor, as DEC seems to have coincidentally (?)
continued its RD 53,54 line as RZ 55,56,57, with the only diffierence being
ST506 vs SCSI (5 1/4 " form factor, etc. . .)  Also, does anybody know about
DEC's DECstation PC line of disks and their manufacturer(s)?

What would it take to mount a RZ56 SCSI disk (direct from its manufacturer)
into a BA42 expansion box?  Special brackets?  I presume that the SCSI
interface and  power supply are standard (I was able to do something similar
with a Fujitsu M2263S).
