- I too would like to know of any problems with this - running under SunOS
- 4.1 actually. Sun Tech support gave me the impression that there may be a
- patch available for SunOS 4.1(.1) that will allow 2GB disks to work. Does
- anybody know about this? Thanks! (BTW, this is for a lab which we can't
- upgrade to 4.1.2 or Solaris until next Spring).
