We've just received our spiffy new Emulex QD21 + 170 meg (unformatted) drive. Our service man doesn't know if there's anything special he should do to make it work with Ultrix 1.2. 1) Is there anything different or weird about the installation and formatting process we should be aware of? 2) Will the DEC Ultrix 1.2 distribution tape load onto it without any problems? 3) Has anyone actually done this (Emulex + VSII + Ultrix 1.2 on a TK50)? This will be the only disk on the machine, which makes it tougher. All it has to do is get up and limp long enough to do any necessary disk size patches, etc. By the way, this shows the importance of asking "How do I do this?" rather than "Have you had any problems with this?" We asked the latter questions, and as the local tech support had never done it, he said there were no problems.
