We are considering alternate sources of SMD-type disks to use on our recently acquired MC-5550s. The new CDC drives look very appealing. We currently have a couple on demo from a local vendor and are experimenting with them on our Sun-3s. I would be interested to hear of anyone else's experience. Thanks in advance, (will post summary) Dale Chayes usmail: Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University Palisades, N.Y. 10986 voice: (914) 359-2900 extension 434 fax: (914) 359-6817 (all types) usnet: ....philabs!lamont!dale -- are we having fun yet?.... [Unless things have changed drastically, using unsupported disks is a bad idea. The drivers tend to be "tuned" to each disk supported. It is fairly easy to get the same model disk from the manufacturer or from a middleman at a somewhat lower cost than masscomp. -- sob]
