I'm not sure what Mark means by 'inbound SCSI harddisk drives', but I have this
comment to offer: we purchased an MV3100 (Ultrix 3.x) and a pair of Fuji
M22633s 665 MB drives. It turns out there is a cacheing problem in the disk
firmware that results in disk corruption. This is known by DEC (in Santa
Clara, at least) and Fujitsu to corrupt data in a VMS environment. We have had
just enough problems getting our Ultrix system up to believe we have the same
problem.
This makes me wonder if DEC has changed something in their SCSI interface...
