I'm curious about recent experiences with non-ibm disks on an RT.
In particular, I have an RT Model 25 (soon to be 125 if I ever get
my update kit) running AIX 2.2.  It has two of the old ESDI
controllers and 3 70MB disks.  I would like to get a larger
disk, but it should be compatible with my system.  I guess there are
two approaches:

	1) Attach a new ESDI disk.  The difficulty is that the new disks
       from IBM (114 & 310) are only supported by the EESDI controller
       and the EESDI disks are somehow different than the ESDI standard
       disks.  Does anyone know what that difference is?  How about
       running non-IBM ESDI on the old controllers?  Could be a problem
       since  you can't mix controller types.

    2) Get the SCSI interface and hook up a SCSI disk.  There's a big
       advantage here in that a SCSI tape drive could also be added
       (maybe).  What kind of SCSI controller is available for the RT.

I tried to get these answers previouly but didn't get a decent response.
If anyone has tried either of the above tasks, please send me your
results.  I'm getting desparate and my RT is my main machine.
