- First, sorry for my english.
-
- Well, there is not the first "third party disk" I have buyed..
- I had buyed some IBM disks to an OEM in Spain.
- I had a trouble with the synchronous or asynchronous character of
- this disk.I talk with the OEM and the OEM talk with IBM.Immediately
- IBM send me a FAX with the solution.
- When I do the same with an HP disk the responese is null.
- I think that if HP makes the disk , it know the adecuate entry in
- /etc/disktab
- for this disk.I think the disk is checked by HP before sell it to OEM.
- I have calculate the adecuate ns,nt and nc with the help of an
- application in
- my Macintosh and with the help of manuals, and th disk is working nicely.
-
- HP could have saved me a lot of time.
- However, thanks for all.
