44interface
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46This is a simple interface to the
47.Tn DEC
48.Tn RL Ns 02
49disk unit which is part of the console
50subsystem on the
51.Tn VAX
528600 and 8650.
53Access is given to the entire
54.Tn RL Ns 02
55disk; the pack format is the same
56as that of
57.Tn RL Ns 02
58disks on other controllers.
59As on other
60.Tn VAX
61console media, transfers are done a word at a time
62using privileged registers (i.e., slowly).
63.Pp
64All
65.Tn I/O
66is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
67of 512 bytes and a multiple of 512 bytes should be transferred,
68as in other
69.Dq raw
70disk interfaces.
71(Although the sector size is actually 256 bytes, the driver allows
72operations only on 512-byte boundaries.)
