I have a Gateway2000 25MHz 386 with 16MB ARM and two 300MB disks.
I'm currently running UNIX SVR3.2 on it.

My set up runs perfectly.

However, someone else in my location has a similar set up, but with
ONE 600MB disk.  His set up randomly hangs.  Does anyone have any
experiences with UNIX on a Gateway2000 with greater-than-600MB disks?

BTW, Gateway tells me they have run MSDOS with >600MB disks with no
problem, but they do not have experience with UNIX.

I'm not sure whether SCSI or ESDI has anything to do with this.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
