I'm planning on putting two of the Fujitsu 1.2G disks on the SCSI port of
a Sun SLC.

The trouble is: Sun says ``we won't sell disks > 1G for the SLC''.  Why
would that be?  Is there something about the SLC which makes it incapable
of dealing with disks > 1G?

That sounds rather prepostorous to me.  As long as one is booting off the
same SunOS, there should be no such problems.  But I'd like to be doubly
sure.

Thanks,
