I need to find a SCSI drive (between 1 and 2.5 Gb) and I'm running into a
brick wall:

a) the only thing that I've been able to find is the Imprimus-2 line (from
Seagate).  Are there other alternatives?  It already have two internal
SCSI drive and a tape drive from Sun, and I seem to have remembered
something (at least about the Sparcstation1s) about there being a limit to
the number of SCSI devices it can handle (like 5-7 total), so I'd rather
have something huge rather than chaining a bunch of smaller ones together.

b) has anyone gotten something this large to work? format?

Thanks in advance,
Bob
