I know that others have asked similar questions before, but... I have a DN3000 with 155 Meg disk. How can I give the machine more disk capacity? I'm not too bothered about speed or re-building the machine. Thanks in advance for all answers (by e-mail please). -- David Boreham, INMOS Limited | Email(uk): davidb@inmos.co.uk or ukc!inmos!davidb Bristol, England | (us): uunet!inmos-c!davidb +44 454 616616 ex 543 | Internet : @col.hp.com:davidb@inmos-c

Unfortunately, there was such a hassle with the controllers, the maintenance contract etc. that I would be very careful about doing this again. It turns out our original controller cards were not of a suffciently high revision to control the 380's. To make things worse, we bought disks with 'fast actuators' instead of the regular ones. The entire system seems to work, but all the people we pay extremely high maintenance fees to began to treat us as though we had the plague. (Even though we basically had the OK from them before we started). After we did it, they said we are now running "an unsupported configuration" and they might Totally abandon us. The problem is almost sorted out now but beware! -- Danny Wilson IDACOM Electronics danny@idacom.uucp Edmonton, Alberta alberta!idacom!danny C A N A D A
