                     11: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     12: This is a simple interface to the DEC RL02
                     13: disk unit which is part of the console
                     14: subsystem on the VAX 8600 and 8650.
                     15: Access is given to the entire
                     16: RL02 disk; the pack format is the same
                     17: as that of RL02 disks on other controllers.
                     18: As on other VAX console media, transfers are done a word at a time
                     19: using privileged registers (i.e., slowly).
                     20: .PP
                     21: All I/O is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
                     22: of 512 bytes and a multiple of 512 bytes should be transferred,
                     23: as in other ``raw'' disk interfaces.
                     24: (Although the sector size is actually 256 bytes, the driver allows
                     25: operations only on 512-byte boundaries.)
