[net.periphs] Comments on VAX disk drives wanted.

woof@psivax.UUCP (Harold Schloss) (01/24/85)

Hi, we are running BSD 4.1 (soon to be 4.2) on a VAX 11/750. We
are cuurently in a bind for disk space, and will soon be purchasing
some more drives. What I am looking for is anyone who has any
experiences with or comments regarding using an EMULEX CS7000 controller
with either a CDC 9771 or CDC 9715-500 disk drive. I would like to get
any facts, feelings, rumors, vague disturbances in the force :-), etc. that
would prove useful to us in making up our minds. We are not a site that
is licensed for source distribution, so if any fancy patching is needed
to make these drives work, we need to know about it soon. We don't have
BSD 4.2 yet, so there is always some chance to have our copy patched before
we get it from Mt. Xinu. Thanks,
