Just one comment -- at least as of 4.20 (havent tried 4.30) stay far far away from Newburry drives. Maybe the 4000's have a better SCSI than the 300's, but we _never_ got it to work. On the other hand, DG drastically improved the SCSI implementation in 4.30, so it may work now..... - mike -- newton@csvax.cs.caltech.edu Beach Bums Anonymous, Pasadena President Caltech 256-80 (Hilo -- it's not just another rainy day!)
