I am about to purchase a new drive for a SPARCStation 1+. We currently
have a number of 327MB and 650MB CDC drives on our systems. They work
with no problems at all. Also, since upgrading to 4.1.1 they support
the synchronous SCSI at 4 mb/s (much better than before).
The question is this. I am thinking of getting a Fujitsu drive (778 MB)
drive (rather than a CDC) for this SPARCStation. The reasoning is this:
1. It is much cheaper (dollar wise).
2. It is larger.
3. It has a 5 year warranty.
Before I jump in though i would like to know if anyone out there has done
the same thing. Have there been any problems? Specifically:
1. Any problems with format, suninstall, etc?
2. Does it work in synchronous SCSI mode.
Thanks (will summarize),
Robert
