We have a VAX 6410 that needs more disk. The existing KDB50 controller is full with 4 RA drives and there is a feeling that the whole system may be replaced next year by a 4000 series machine. It seemed a good idea to buy a KFMSA controller and start buying RF disks which would carry over to a 4000. An RF73 won't go in the existing SA600 cabinet, so DEC offer us an R400X cabinet at a fairly high price (approx 50% of the cost of the RF73). A third party has offered an RF73 in a BA213 cabinet at a much lower cost but DEC say that the combination of a KFMSA and a BA-style cabinet for DSSI disks is not supported. Why ever not? What has the box got to do with it?
