query on external hard disks for SS1

[david at ics.com]

Thanks to the folks who responded to queries for external drives for the
SS1; the Wren III and the Fujitsu M2263SA 778MB 18ms hard drive were
mentioned.

I also have two old 70-MB drives off a Sun 3/75 that I'd like to use while
I'm convincing people to buy real drives. But I'm getting some
inconsistent answers from Sun on the feasibility of using them. The sales
guy is sure that there isn't a problem. The techie people say that some
change in the synchronicity of SCSI drives makes the old drives
unreliable, unless parameters are tweaked just-so.  Anybody had any
experience with doing this?

Thanks in advance.
