Once we got our cabling straightened out, they've worked just fine. The formatted capacity is 1.04 Gb which allows a file system of about 988K with the default number of inodes. They've only been running for a few days, so I can't give you any reliability information yet. We obtained the mods to zdformat, etc. from Sequent as a special product, so I don't think I can redistribute them. I suggest you contact your sales rep. -- Stan Corbin stan@prism.gatech.edu Office of Computing Services ...!gatech!prism!stan Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0275
