-
- Under 4.1.1 you will need a patch. This comes with Sun 1.3G drives, and
- you can get it from Sun if you have software support (now that they
- sealed up the support BBS).
-
- 4.1.2 supports drives greater than 1G quite nicely (the CD-ROMs with the
- patches that we got with our 1.3G drives had big orange stickers saying
- "DON'T INSTALL THESE ON 4.1.2"). It also has a lot of other bug fixes.
