A while back there was some discussion of installing larger than normal drives in the 6300+. I am sorry if this is a request for a rehash, but at the time I was running a 3b5, so didn't save the files. How does one get the machine to look at the WD controller (it is more than just the motherboard switch, as that just makes it ignore all drives), and how does one specify the drive to the WD controller? O/S is Unix SysV rel 2.0 w/Simultask, hardware is 6300+, preferred drive would be CDC Wren II 86/72mb. Our map entry was just revised, but for a while, mail may well get lost. Posting would be nice, or try ihnp4!auscso!paddock, attmail!fifi!auscso!paddock or ut-ngp!auscso!paddock. If a mailer enroute optimizes, it is probably all over :-) Thanks.
