Although I'm almost impressed if you could hear the noise of the head 
seeks on the RP06 over that noise.
But if you think the fans on a KL roar, you should try the VAX-8650...

specific device, but that's not normally what you would be doing. You'd 
be sitting at a terminal, or the front panel, and work...
