[net.micro.att] 3B2 expansion using non-AT&T "XM" components

larry@kitty.UUCP (Larry Lippman) (10/31/86)

	While I have always used AT&T XM modules to expand 3B2's in the past,
I am now ready to consider going non-AT&T on some cost-sensitive projects.
	I know that some people have added their own harddisks to 3B2's,
without AT&T's "blessing".  I know that this is almost a trivial task.
	I would like to hear from anyone who has done this.  Specifically,
I would like to have vendor data on harddisks that are KNOWN to work okay.
I would also like to know whether people made their own cables, or bought
a replacement cable assy for an XM.  And I would like to find out about
any problems encountered.
	I already have a copy of "devtools", and am rarin' to go...
