	If I worked for Motorola, I would also suggest that you just buy
the Moto drives.  Not because I want to make some sales, but because my advice
should be guaranteed correct.  But I do not work for Motorola, so I can freely
give advice of questionable reliability.

	I have bought third party drives and plopped them into my machine.
The easiest way to do this is look at the list of supported drives.  Then shop
around for the best price.  When you get the thing, just give it a SCSI id,
run iot;t from the monitor, then boot your box.  Once it is up, format it,
create the filesystem(s), edit /etc/fstab and you are in business.

	I have also wasted a lot of time with non-standard SCSI devices.
There are a lot of bad implementations out there and the vendors are less
than sympathetic.  Anyway, have fun.
