Don't know the 8600. Wasn't the RL02 on the 11/730 actually connected to a PDP-11 that functioned as a console? Surely no version of VMS ever fit on a 10M disk, did it?
The 730 does not have a PDP-11 as frontend. It uses the RB730 integrated disk controller with attachments for the RL02 and R80 drives. The R80 provides 120MB of storage, enough for a small VMS installation. And as it's a Unibus machine, you can add more peripherals.
