At Weber State College we have a MicroVAX II running Ultrix.  When we decided
to get more disk space we got a pair of Maxtor drives and a controller
for them from SI.  The system thinks that they are DEC ra81 drives and has
absolutely no problem with them.  The drives are great.  I just wish SI had
a better service guy around here.  After calling him back 3 times, I finally
got the manual aout for the drives and correctly formated and set the bad
block list.  The same person cam to install 2 eagle drives an a VMS 
MicroVAX and got it all wrong.  3 days latter and a few pis*ed off students
we finally got it fixed no thanks to him.  But they still sent us a bill for
$450.00.  Ain't this industry great.
