[comp.sys.sequent] Fujitsu 2361 drives on a Balance 8000

bsmart@vrdxhq.verdix.com (Bob Smart) (07/20/89)

I would like to know if anyone has gotten Fujitsu 2361 (Double or Super Eagle)
disk drives working on a Sequent Balance 8000.  I currently have 3 Fuji 2351s
that are very full and can get a 2361 at a reasonable price. I just need
to know what it will take to get it on line. any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Uh, beware that "reasonable price," and make *very* sure that 2361 is Rev E
or later. Earlier drives had a tendency to shred the spindle, throwing metal
filings all over the platters. Obviously, any disk that has done this is a
total loss.

[Any particular reason you put a bogus Followup-To line on this?]
