Does anyone know what is involved in replacing the disk drive that
comes with an Apollo DN3010 with a larger capacity one?
I know everything there is to know about hooking up disk drives to
4.3BSD Unix running on a uVax, but for that I have understanding of
the operating system and I have manuals for the disk controllers. I
have neither of these for Apollo machines.
I'd like to replace the drive in the DN3010 with either a Maxtor
XT-4380E (380 megabytes) or an XT-8760E (760 megabytes). I met someone
once who tried, but said he couldn't do it, and had to resort to
hooking up an EXT-4380 (an ealier version of the XT-4380E, which it
so happens that Apollo markets as their own). I'd settle for using an
EXT-4380, but would rather be able to use the newer, faster, large
capacity drives.
What I need to know is how to set the jumpers on the disk drive, how
to set the jumpers on the disk controller, and how to configure the
operating system for the new drive.
Anyone have any pointers or ideas? Please mail me if you do because I
don't read this newgroup regularly. I will summarize any responses I
receive. Send mail to
