One of our DECStation 3100s had an internal RZ23 hard disk failure. DEC told me I could replace it either with an RZ23 (104MB) or with an RZ24 (209MB), but their Refurbishments department only has the larger size and they estimate it would take three to four weeks to send it to me. (Either size is ok.) I need something sooner than that, so I wonder if I could order a SCSI drive from Computer Shopper to replace it? Would a non-DEC drive be compatible? The DEC technician I spoke with didn't recommend that I do that, but I was wondering if any of you have had luck with other brands. I'll summarize for the group. Thank you. - Jeff Hill, Assistant Systems Administrator, Philosophy Dept. Carnegie Mellon University
