I have a pair of them running under ISC UNIX 2.2 (they were originally setup under 386/ix 2.0.2). I have them connected to a DPT ESDI Caching controller with 2 1/2 MB of disk cache. the system is up 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the past year and I have had no disk problems (although the maxstor 680MB drive I had in there crashed when I dropped the machine during an office move). -- Conor P.
