Howdy.  We have 2 RA82s and 4 RA81s that I'd like to replace.  They're
connected to a VAX 6320 via two KDB50 controllers.  My plan is to
replace them with a 4.0GB SABB consisting of 4 RA72s.  According to
the DECdirect catalog, the SA72-PK is for VAX 6xxx Field Installable,
which *should* mean that it will fit inside the 6320 cabinet.

Naturally, we have no money, but I can finance them over a couple of
years using the maintenance we're currently paying on the RA8xs.  My
question to you, if you know the answer, is: is there anything else I
need besides the SA72-PK?  They should fit in our 6320 cabinet and
hook directly to our KDB50s---right?  Am I missing anything?

Thanks.
