It is known to work on the MIPS M120. > Myself and one other customer in this area have MV3100's; we both started out with 2263S's as external SCSI drives. We discovered a cacheing bug in the drive's ROM which corrupted disk data (exact circumstances unknown). We were running Ultrix 3.x, the other guy was running VMS, presumable 5.x. Fuji claims to have a fix in a ROM upgrade. However, I gave back the drives and went for RZ56s, so I can't say whether this really fixed the problem. -- kral * 408/647-6112 * ...!uunet!drivax!braun * braun@dri.com That which does not kill us Makes us stronger - Nietzche
