    I want to add a gigabyte to an XL1200; does anyone have any 
    particular recommendations for SCSI disks that will work well?

    In a previous adventure, I tried some smaller SCSI disks and
    found that they didn't work very well.  SCSI commands would 
    often bomb out and totally crash the system.  These same disks 
    worked just fine on SUNs.  They supported variable sector sizes.
    Perhaps there are additional device configuration constraints
    that I didn't know about.  Does anyone know what the actual
    requirements are for adding SCSI disks to XLs?

    Also, what are the LMFS and partition size restrictions?

    How well does the Genera 8.3 NFS server work?  
    I am thinking I will back up the LMFS as an NFS 
    mounted file system using Legato.

    Thanks,
    Chris

I've had no problems with Seagate's ST32550N which are 2Gig.  Mounting
is always a jury rigged operation inside of the XL1200.  Anyone have
some real elegant solutions to this?
