43.Tn RX01
44floppy disk unit, which is part of the console
45.Tn LSI-11
46subsystem for
47.Tn VAX-11/780 Ns s .
48Access is given to the entire
49floppy consisting of 77 tracks of 26 sectors of 128 bytes.

51All I/O is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
52of 128 bytes and a multiple of 128 bytes should be transferred,
53as in other
54.Dq raw
55disk interfaces.
