I have been out of circulation on this newsgroup lately, so I apologize if I
am digging up an old (possibly religious) topic.

I am helping to put together a requisition for purchasing some Mac IIx systems
for running both Mac O/S and also A/UX 

What 3rd party large hard disks (over 100MB) are out there and are compatible
with A/UX?   I realize from reading old news postings that with a certain
degree of tweaking, that a lot of disks out there can be made to work - the
partition manager (whatever and wherever that is - A/UX, Mac, Hard disk, etc)
seems to have caused some of these problems.

What recommendations do you all make?  The apple drives make compatibility a
moot point, but just how much work is involved in getting other peoples'
drives to work with A/UX?

How do the drives on the market compare pricewise, access time, MB/$,
installation/compatibility?

If there has been a recent thread on this topic, does anyone have a saved
copy of it that they could send to me?

At any rate, if you're on the internet, please mail your replies to:
