- Jan,
-
- The RZ56 is a Micropolis drive with DEC firmware. I believe that Micropolis
- does have a firmware variant for Sun as well. I don't happen to remember which
- Micropolis model number the drive is, but their technical hotline should be
- able to tell you fairly quickly.
-
- I hope that helps.
-
- Thanx,
- AJ
