We have several old CDC 9766 drives (SMD-300meg) and a newer CDC 9715
drive (SMD-340meg) which I've been instructed to add to one of our
Suns if possible.  I've seen other big CDCs on Suns but I've never seen
either of the above.  Sun doesn't officially support either of these 
drives and they simply say, "Try it, maybe it will work." Before I
commit myself to this project can anyone offer advice as to whether it
it possible to use these drives on a Sun running 3.2?  Has anyone done
it and can you tell me what to tell diag about formatting and mapping
bad blocks on these disks?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  Dustin Clampitt
