We are considering buying some DECstation 3100's for use in
a network. Although essentially diskless, I like the idea
of having a small 'paging' disk in each. Dec sells a
104MB 3.5in disk for just this purpose. I was wondering
what other options might be (and for how much). The
controller is SCSI, so I assume that most SCSI drives
would work, but I know *nothing* about 3.5in SCSI drives.
I know CDC makes a 16.5ms 100MB 3.5in drive, for example,
but haven't heard of a SCSI version of it.
If you know of any that are reasonable (and I assume that,
for paging, speed is pretty important), please email me.
By the way, I have one piece of paper from DEC telling me
the 3100 enclosure can take two 1/2ht 3.5in drives, but
all the other pieces of paper only mention putting one
such beast internally. Anyone know for certain?
Thanks!
