Has anybody installed and formatted CDC 9720-1230 1.2 Gb disk drives
on their Sequent system?

I am interested in obtaining any modifications made to the files in
the /usr/sys directories neccessary to run zdformat on these drives
successfully, as well as reliability information on these drives.

They are 8 inch drives, which means two will fit in place of a
Fujitsu Eagle, and National Peripheral has quoted me $8,870 for the
complete kit including one drive, mounting tray and cables, which is
about $870 more than I paid for a 690 Mb Fujitsu M2344K swallow-4
last summer.
