44.Tn RX01
45floppy disk unit, which is part of the console
46.Tn LSI-11
47subsystem for
48.Tn VAX-11/780 Ns s .
49Access is given to the entire
50floppy consisting of 77 tracks of 26 sectors of 128 bytes.
51.Pp
52All I/O is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
53of 128 bytes and a multiple of 128 bytes should be transferred,
54as in other
55.Dq raw
56disk interfaces.
