42.Tn RL Ns 02
43interface
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45This is a simple interface to the
46.Tn DEC
47.Tn RL Ns 02
48disk unit which is part of the console
49subsystem on the
50.Tn VAX
518600 and 8650.
52Access is given to the entire
53.Tn RL Ns 02
54disk; the pack format is the same
55as that of
56.Tn RL Ns 02
57disks on other controllers.
58As on other
59.Tn VAX
60console media, transfers are done a word at a time
61using privileged registers (i.e., slowly).
62.Pp
63All
64.Tn I/O
65is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
66of 512 bytes and a multiple of 512 bytes should be transferred,
67as in other
68.Dq raw
69disk interfaces.
70(Although the sector size is actually 256 bytes, the driver allows
71operations only on 512-byte boundaries.)
