- I seem to recall there being a problem with using 3rd party SCSI disks on DEC
- workstations that were over about 1GB in size. If memory serves me right, the
- DEC SCSI disk driver didn't handle that size properly, and when the disk was
- written to near the end, it wrapped around and overwrote track 0. Does anyone
- know if this problems has been fixed and, if so, in what version of VMS and for
- what workstations? The system I have in mind will be a VAXstation 4000 model
- 90 running VMS 5.5-2, and I want to hang a 1.4GB disk on it.
