RA73 is a nice drive. 2Gb. Pretty small form. You might want to locate 
one those boxes that holds 4 RA7x drives, though, as that is the normal 
package you used to have front panel for the disk drive. But I guess it 
is possible to run the drive without the front panel too.

Think it might have been DECs last SDI drive.
