Me, I'm also curious about trying it with two RA72's (on a KDA50 in a
MicroVAX 3600).  :-)  The only thing is, I'm not sure if the disks are any
good.  I didn't have much luck with my initial try of swapping out the
second RA70 for an RA72, but then I'm not very familliar with the cabling
or drive setting requirements for SDI drives.
