I too am intrested in using a third party SCSI drive but on a Hewlett Packard
workstation (HP 340, but info on any HP 3xx would be cool).  Is there a good
reason why SCSI drives are sooooo expensive when you buy them from the same
company you are buying your workstation from?  And why do I hear horror
stories about third party SCSI drives being used on various workstations
(esp. Sun), isn't SCSI supose to be a standard?
