45interface
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47This is a simple interface to the
48.Tn DEC
49.Tn RL Ns 02
50disk unit which is part of the console
51subsystem on the
52.Tn VAX
538600 and 8650.
54Access is given to the entire
55.Tn RL Ns 02
56disk; the pack format is the same
57as that of
58.Tn RL Ns 02
59disks on other controllers.
60As on other
61.Tn VAX
62console media, transfers are done a word at a time
63using privileged registers (i.e., slowly).
64.Pp
65All
66.Tn I/O
67is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
68of 512 bytes and a multiple of 512 bytes should be transferred,
69as in other
70.Dq raw
71disk interfaces.
72(Although the sector size is actually 256 bytes, the driver allows
73operations only on 512-byte boundaries.)
