The RA80 is an "intelligent" controller on the UNIBUS with a winchester
type drive (R80).  It is a UNIBUS device and there is a 4.1 VAX UNIX
driver (by Bill Shannon) which one can get from Berkeley.  There will
be a version 7 driver soon.  The controller fetches instruction packets
from main memory and follows instructions.  The controller has more
buffering in it than the standard DEC disks.
