How well does the YP which comes with AOS 4.3 Dec 88 actually work?
I've never used it before, but will shortly be adding YP-using hosts
to a local net (RS6000s and Suns).  Is the RT YP reliable enough to
work as a YP server?  How is the integration with the DNS accomplished?

Has anyone had any luck using non-IBM disks on the RT?
If so, please let me know what disks you got to work 
and how you did it? Thanks.

Mark and everyone else,

I've gotten the Chalmers scsi driver to support disks intended for the RS/6000
which, by some quirk :-), I can get easier than I can get non-IBM drives. 
These are rebadged Maxtor drives, and I know that someone else has used the
same driver for a Wren. The drive works fine, we'd some problems which appeared
to be processor-specific but turned out to be the effect of too many debug
printf's in the driver, and it presently interferes with the token-ring
driver. When I fix that I'll post the driver and related materials.

On a realted topic, the accompaning streamer driver is in use here to support
8mm tape (Exabyte), it presently interferes with the floppy drive(s), but I
consider this a reasonable trade off -- lose a 1.2Mb storage device and gain
a 2Gb device.

Both are in production use here. Expect this stuff out next week.
