- Well, I called up last night and ordered a gig drive, the HP
- 97549TF S2.
-
- It's SCSI 2 drive (I hope the NeXT accepts it...), not very fast,
- not very quiet, but the one I wanted was sold out (HP 97558), and
- I can't wait many more weeks for a disk. Besides, this one was
- even cheaper (about $1200) so I can't complain.
-
- What I would like, before it arrives, are disktab/builddisk
- scripts/parameters. Although I have on one occassion worked a
- bit of black disktab magic, it was long ago, and I've never
- worked with a disk this big, so I'm not sure what the ideal
- partition configuration would be. I'm sure there are many of
- you who are dying to let me know The Right Way to do this (tm) ;-)
-
- If anyone know which formatting program will work (The Formatter?),
- if the disk has a cache and how I can enable it, or other tips I would
- appreciate hearing them, via e-mail. Maybe I'll even write a
- HP-recipie for the archives when I'm done...
-
- The disk will be sitting in a cube at home, with only a couple
- of users, but lots of software. It will possibly be set up as
- a local archive resource, or user group resource (this is my
- personal machine).
-
- The disk's formatted capacity is 1000MB, 17ms access.
-
- As always, thanks for the help.
