   Oh!  Oh!  Send it to me!

   It's not a SCSI disk.  It's an ST506 interface drive, ie stock MFM, just
   like the cheaparse 20MB MFM drives found in PCs until fairly recently, only
   bigger.

Does this mean that you can use any MFM drive in a micro vax?  (how
about a vax station?)  If this is true, is there a MAX # of
heads/cyls?

Thanks,
