Any problems that's likely to cause? I am told that 8.0 in a 835 with 27147A scsi card supports scsi disks. Is it true? What kind of partitioning scheme is used (is it still hardwired in the kernel)? Am I likely to succeed in connecting a 3rd party disk? Will it be possible to move a disk from a 370 to the 835 with contents intact and accessible, and vice versa? -- Tapani Tarvainen (tarvaine@jyu.fi, tarvainen@finjyu.bitnet)
