Does anyone have information on the performance of the old RP06 disk
drives (especially off a PDP 11 Unibus)?  A former employer of mine
is wanting to replace his with something smaller and with more capacity.
He is worried about losing performance, though.

He is looking for something around 500MBs with a Unibus controller.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has any good comparisons
or just suggestions of good drives to look at.

Thank you in advance.
