Adding DEC disk sub-categories?
I plan to add the series of DEC RFxx disk drives (about a dozen) for the DSSI Bus. Without sub-categories the category "DEC Disk Drives" will grow considerably. Should I start creating sub-categories (RP, RM, RA, RD, RF, ...)? Vaxorcist (talk) 15:40, 13 August 2023 (CEST)
- I don't have a problem with adding a few categories (e.g. 'DEC Floppy Drives'), but I don't think we need one for each name prefix. The 'Rxyy' drive name itself does that well enough, I think; so no RK, RP, etc categories. What other ones make sense? 'DEC Removable-pack Drives' (for RK, RP, RM - although I guess the RP07 and maybe the RM80 were non-removable)? And I guess 'DEC Fixed-head Drives' for the RS11, RS03, RS04, etc. 'DEC Fixed-pack Drives' (for RA 81, ??) I don't know enough about the RD's, etc to have any idea about them. I'm not sure if 'fixed-pack' is the right term to use; I'm too lazy/busy to read the DEC documents and see what term DEC used. Jnc (talk) 16:45, 13 August 2023 (CEST)
