[comp.sys.hp] same disc?

paul@eye.com (Paul B. Booth) (04/10/91)

The situation: I've got a 660Mb scsi disk mech for a 6000-660s mass storage 
box that I'd like to install instead inside a 433 spu in place of it's single
C2212a 300Mb internal drive..

Any reason why I shouldn't do this?  The disks are functionally identical, and
look the same to me from the outside.  I'm a little worried though, that the
mech for the 660s box (it's a 97548s mech) might not be designed to be mounted
on it's side, as it would have to be to fit into the 433.  Is this a problem,
or are these drives basically interchangeable between 400's and 660's?

THANKS for any ideas!
