We just installed four of them, and have four more on order.  Once we
got our cabling straightened out, they've worked just fine.  The
formatted capacity is 1.04 Gb which allows a file system of about 988K
with the default number of inodes.  They've only been running for a few
days, so I can't give you any reliability information yet.

We obtained the mods to zdformat, etc. from Sequent as a special product,
so I don't think I can redistribute them.  I suggest you contact your
sales rep.
