An Eagle or Eagle-II was a whole lot lighter (and
physically smaller) than
an RP06 or RP07 (or an RM series drive for that matter). It is interesting
to hear you had problems with the Eagles. They were generally considered
the best/most reliable of the day. The SI controller on the Vax was less
so, although many of us in the UNIX community used them.
We ran Eagles on the Masscomps we had at Geophysics. Nothing but good
things to say about those drives.
