Speaking of which, one obnoxious thing about the TZ30 was that there is
one flex circuit that goes around the side of the drive, so you can't
put a TZ30 in a VAXstation 2000 unless you dig out the tinsnips and
cut a chunk out of one of the 2000's side plates.

I had a 2000 with an RD32 (? the ST251 40MB drive) and a TZ30 in it.
Trimmed down VMS 5.mumble to fit. Gave me a handy little machine to
take on trips.
