Hi!

I am about to upgrade the internal disk on my monoslab (3.0) from a
200meg Quantum to a larger drive.  Does anyone have any experience
with any of the following:

Toshiba 438F, 877meg SCSI-2, 12ms access
Toshiba 538F, 1gig SCSI-2, 12ms access
Quantum 1.2gig SCSI-2 10ms access

Can anyone verify that any of the above do/do not work in a slab?

Also, my plan is to just take out the old drive, put in the new, and
do the upgrade (well, the OS installation actually) from CD-ROM.  Will
the OS installation (NS3.0) format and partition the drive for me, or
does the disk need to be formatted before I begin the installation?

Any info anyone can/will provide is greatly appreciated; I have tons
of Unix sysad experience, but am quite new to the NeXT environment
(loving it so far!! :).

Thanks,
David
