- The RC25 was a novel disk drive for its time. As I recall the drive was a Half
- width in a 19" rackmount, standard 10.5 inches high. In this you got a fixed
- 25Mb, and a removable 25 Mb cartridge. (or it might have been 26Mb). The
- cartridges were compact for their day, about the dimensions of a quarto
- notepad, but about an inch thick.
-
- THere were UNibus and Qbus controllers for them, and they were the system
- drives on the VAX 725, which was a 730, packaged into what was then, a small
- box.
-
- We used to have a couple attached to a MicroVAX II at one stage.
