- We're going to be getting two HP 1.35 Gbyte drives (sorry, don't know
- model numbers) for use on 5000/240 running Ultrix 4.2a. While specific
- information about this drive would be nice, I'd like to know in general
- how well and compatible 3rd party drives are to work with. One will be
- the system drives, which I think complicates things a little. I talked
- to a local DEC tech support guy about it, and he said (for this drive) to
- hope that the std DEC rz58 disktab entry would work with it.
- Any replies would be appreciated.
