We had a bunch of 4200's on back order, and our sales-weenie is trying to convince us to buy 4100's instead. Can someone please confirm : - Does the 4000-100 support BOTH SCSI and DSSI ? - If DSSI support is included, then how many devices are suppored with the base configuration (i.e., does it support two (2) strings (14 devices) like the 4500's, or only one (1) string (7 devices) - Is the TF85 supported ? or just SCSI tape ? - How many drive bays are included ? (if DSSI, how many RF72/73's) - What is the minimum (yet unreleased) version of VMS required (I have heard both 5.5-2 and 5.5-3) I believe the answer to the first question is 'yes, both are supported', however I find this a bit odd. I want to make sure we are NOT going to get stuck with SCSI (read NOT-DSSI) disks. Our sales-weenie is going to get me some information, but currently I have only seen high-level slides. I am interested in getting the 'right' answers ASAP so that if there are any potential configuration problems, I can bring them to light before our managing partner signs the deal. Thanks in advance, Dave. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = David E.
