I've tried to find alternate sources for ESDI disks to connect to
my RT under AIX 2.2.  So far I've had no luck.  Apparently, it is
not possible to use a non-IBM disk connected to an extended ESDI
controller under AIX or AOX.  Does anyone know what IBM does to their
disks to make them different? Or why non-IBM disks will not work?
