The Aerospace Eng. department is considering several DECstation 3100s.
Does anyone have experience with drives other than those sold
by DEC?
I would appreciate hearing from those with experience in this matter.
Items of concern I feel would be;
1) compatibility, who makes useable SCSI drives? are any and all useable?
2) cabinet and power supply (assuming external)
3) cables and connectors, are these uniquely DEC?
4) Does DEC provide programs to format a drive from ground zero?
5) Did you find this alternative to be worth the effort in both time and
   materials?

Please email your reply. I will post a summary.
Thanks,
