We have two DS3100's booting from 600 MB HP (HP97548) drives and two other
DS3100's booting from 1.2 GB HP (HP97549) drives.  These are SCSI drives
with five year warranties.  So far we haven't had any problems, but it's
more difficult to install Ultrix on these drives since Dec's installation
process doesn't recognize the drives:  We simply did a dump/restore from
an existing system on Dec disks to the the HP disks, then booted right
off of the HP disks and reconfigured the system.

We obtained the 600 MB HP97548 drives for $2835 and the 1.2GB HP97549 for
$3735 from Anthem Electronics of Salt Lake City, phone (801) 973-8555.
These are complete external disk drives (box, power supply, SCSI device
selector, ...).  We have no relationship with Anthem except as satisfied
customer.
