One entry in particular intrigues me: >Model Height Size Ave Sk Heads: Recording > unformatted time Cylinders Method Comments >============================================================================= >-------------------------------FUJITSU--------------------------------------- >M2243R Half 129._MBytes 29msec ? ? I checked the Mini-Micro Systems article just to verify, and they indeed list this drive as half-height. We have a couple of Sun workstations here with Fujitsu M2243AS drives in them and they are definitely full- height drives. If this drive is *really* half-height, it sounds like a winner for the 7300 users that don't want to replace their top cover. I just hope it's not RLL. ---Bob -- Bob Hoffman, N3CVL {allegra, bellcore, cadre, idis, psuvax1}!pitt!hoffman Pitt Computer Science hoffman%pitt@relay.cs.net
