If so, what is the procedure. Thanks! There shouldn't be any problems installing 'third party h-disks'. 1st) Just plug in the SCSI cables (they are standard) in case of model 7012-320 and higher. 2nd) 'Dip in' the right scsi address. 3rd) Power the system up and use SMIT to format (if necessary) the disk and to make a file system on it etc... -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Juha Hulkkonen s33966r@kaira.hut.fi + + hogan @otax.tky.hut.fi + + tel. +358-0-794899 + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
