Need help with disktab entries for non-DEC drives on a VAX

We have purchased several third party disk drives for our Vaxen.  One of
them is an Exsys disk drive, it identifies itself to Unix as a RA70 but 
it has 1117800 sectors.  Does anyone have a disktab entry for this type of
drive?

In general, are there any rules-of-thumb when creating a disktab entry
(partition sizes, block sizes, etc)?
