The RC25 is a half-fixed half-removable drive that was used (at least)
in the VAX-11/725 (deskside version).  I believe that each portion was
25MB (or very close) so the whole drive had a capacity of 50 or so MB.
I believe that DEC marketed "external" versions of these as well,
presumedly for the VAX/11-7xx family, but they may have also had them
for the DEC Professionals or whatever that PC-ish thing before the
Rainbow was.  :-)  I don't really remember for sure...

Say... do you happen to have one you want to get rid of? :-)  The local
University ACM chapter has a VAX-11/725 with the internal RC25 drive but
the power supply for the RC25 doesn't work (the rest of the 11/725 seems
OK), so I know they're in the market for one cheap (they're students after
all :-).  If so, please reply email...
