- Fred:
- We went thru this for a client a few months ago.
- We took the chance and upgraded their drive to a SCSI-II drive under
- SCO Xenix 386 yet... And it worked just fine.
-
- It is a noticeable performance improvement. (Something you can see
- and feel...)
-
- Like you, I did not find anything in the docs, to give me the warm
- fuzzies, but it did work and has been working for about 5 months now
- without a hitch. (knock on wood..)
