	We have an HP 650/A drive to try while our 20GB
	disk farms are delayed - what disktab entry or
	options to mkfs are appropriate? 
	Any further info would be a help as we not only
	 want to use it (on our 345) as a native disk but
	 need to know if we can read the same media written on an
	AlpaTronix PC Optical disc under DOS. 
	
	Our system is a 345, HP-UX 7.0 - the media says
	hp92280A on it. -1024 bytes/sector.
	How many sectors?
	Do I use the same major/minor numbers as the
	SCSI disks (330's)?
	
	Q: DOes the 20GB farm use the same format as the 
	   650/A?



	Thanks in advance
	Hurf Sheldon
