18*47674Scael.Sh DESCRIPTION
19*47674ScaelThis is a simple interface to the
20*47674Scael.Tn DEC
21*47674Scael.Tn RL Ns 02
2228287Skarelsdisk unit which is part of the console
23*47674Scaelsubsystem on the
24*47674Scael.Tn VAX
25*47674Scael8600 and 8650.
2628287SkarelsAccess is given to the entire
27*47674Scael.Tn RL Ns 02
28*47674Scaeldisk; the pack format is the same
29*47674Scaelas that of
30*47674Scael.Tn RL Ns 02
31*47674Scaeldisks on other controllers.
32*47674ScaelAs on other
33*47674Scael.Tn VAX
34*47674Scaelconsole media, transfers are done a word at a time
3528287Skarelsusing privileged registers (i.e., slowly).

39*47674Scaelis raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
4028287Skarelsof 512 bytes and a multiple of 512 bytes should be transferred,
41*47674Scaelas in other
42*47674Scael.Dq raw
43*47674Scaeldisk interfaces.

4528287Skarelsoperations only on 512-byte boundaries.)
