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.  [The Emulex Ultrix expert is on
a training tour, and won't be back for a while]
