The RD32 was a 42 MB 5.25" half height ST506 disk.

It was a re-labelled Seagate ST-251.

It is supported by the following DEC MFM disk controllers:

QBUS RQDX3
MicroVAX 2000 / VAXstation 2000 disk controller
Rainbow 100 disk controller (with newest firmware only)
Professional 350 / Professional 380 disk controller (with newest firmware only)

Before using a Seagate ST-251 as an RD32 in a DEC computer, it has to be formatted according to DEC specs.
