I will go *way* out on a limb and make the following claim:

	DEC have never produced a fast RA disk, with any setup.

It would be nice to see some counter-argument.  The newer RA series
drives *should* not be so slow; their physical characteristics are OK
(unlike the RA81).  Perhaps the problem is MSCP.
