What's the DEC-name (rz???) of the DEC DSP3105? RZ26. BUT their are 'significant' rom changes I'm told. But not enough to justify the difference in price, IMHO. Be aware that if you intend to install Ultrix on this disk, not just dump an existing system disk. Then I had to edit some of the installation scripts because it thought the disk was a RZXX (generic scsi) I changed these to RZ57 and it worked. With hindsight copying the disktab file and copying the rz57 (rz57 because its also a 1gb scsi) entry to rzxx may have worked. Roger -- brockie@golem.wcc.govt.nz
