- DEC's DSP5400 will work on the 3230, as well as the 6280, but I will
- not recommend it, as it is very loud and not very fast compared to
- the little 1GB drives.
-
- I did not have evaluated other 2GB drives till now. Another solution
- would be to use two 3 1/2" 1GB drives, and stripe them (as long as
- you have enough free SCSI Id's).
