[HECnet] What started the modern VAX drive limit myth?

Afternoon all,

What started that myth?   I've managed to get a 146G drive working in a VAXstation 4000/60 (10,000 RPM, too!).   Unless I did my maths wrong, it's showing up as 136G as a FILES-11 volume(~700M in SHOW DEVICES at the tripel chevron prompt)

There also seems to be no 1G boot drive limit on this as my boot drive is about 4G.

Was this a limit that existed in earlier VAXstations?
