18.Sh DESCRIPTION
19This is a simple interface to the
20.Tn DEC
21.Tn RL Ns 02
22disk unit which is part of the console
23subsystem on the
24.Tn VAX
258600 and 8650.
26Access is given to the entire
27.Tn RL Ns 02
28disk; the pack format is the same
29as that of
30.Tn RL Ns 02
31disks on other controllers.
32As on other
33.Tn VAX
34console media, transfers are done a word at a time
35using privileged registers (i.e., slowly).
36.Pp
37All
38.Tn I/O
39is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
40of 512 bytes and a multiple of 512 bytes should be transferred,
41as in other
42.Dq raw
43disk interfaces.
44(Although the sector size is actually 256 bytes, the driver allows
45operations only on 512-byte boundaries.)
