We have been running our DECstation 3100 off of a Maxtor 8760S since August
with no major problems.  I did not do the installation myself, someone
else did.  We started with a 100 MB internal (rz23), so he may have loaded a
small system onto that before loading the 8760, I don't know.

Here is what is now in our /etc/disktab (I can't tell you anything more):
