        DESCRIPTION

        A dpj disk subsystem consists of a disk controller with up to
        four physical units on that controller.  The units supported are
        as follows:

                  Model #   Size
                  6236      354 Mbyte 14" non-removable disk
                  6239      592 Mbyte 14" non-removable disk
                  6357      888 Mbyte 14" non-removable disk
                  6309      725 Kbyte 5 1/4" floppy
                  6310      38 Mbyte 5 1/4" non-removable disk
                  6328      70 Mbyte 5 1/4" non-removable disk
                  6329      120 Mbyte 5 1/4" non-removable disk
                  6363      160 Mbyte 5 1/4" non-removable disk
                  6446      240 Mbyte 5 1/4" non-removable disk

        A physical disk unit may be accessed directly via the special
        file nodes in /dev/pdsk and /dev/rpdsk.  These nodes are named in
        the form:

            /dev/[r]pdsk/c<n>d<m>

        where <n> is the octal hardware device code of the controller and
        <m>  is  the  unit  on  the  controller.   The nodes in /dev/pdsk
        provide access as a block special device as described in  dsk(7).
        The  nodes  in  /dev/rpdsk  provide access as a character special
        device as described in rdsk(7).  When accessing a disk through  a
        /dev/pdsk  or  /dev/rpdsk  node, the operating system performs no
        bad block remapping.
