- Can the 6320 support the KDM70 controller? If it can, that's a better board
- to use. If it can't, you might consider keeping the HSC70 until you upgrade
- your CPU to a newer model that can support the KDM70.
-
- On the other hand, DEC is making the small form factor drives (5.25") avail-
- able in storage cabinets and may have something coming out that you'd like.
- Contact your sales rep for mor info.
-
- Lastly, if you plan on growing your system by clustering another CPU, you
- might want to keep the HSC, possibly upgrading it to an HSC90 (maybe with
- cache).
