40interface
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42This is a simple interface to the
43.Tn DEC
44.Tn RL Ns 02
45disk unit which is part of the console
46subsystem on the
47.Tn VAX-8600
48and 8650.
49Access is given to the entire
50.Tn RL Ns 02
51disk; the pack format is the same
52as that of
53.Tn RL Ns 02
54disks on other controllers.
55As on other
56.Tn VAX
57console media, transfers are done a word at a time
58using privileged registers (i.e., slowly).
59.Pp
60All
61.Tn I/O
62is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
63of 512 bytes and a multiple of 512 bytes should be transferred,
64as in other
65.Dq raw
66disk interfaces.
67(Although the sector size is actually 256 bytes, the driver allows
68operations only on 512-byte boundaries.)
