Does anyone know how we can install a RZ57 disk drive on a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix Worksystem V2.1? According to DEC, the RZ57 gigabyte disk is not unsupported until ULTRIX 4.0. I have been in contact with the 800 support number and the local office. They offered two solutions: Get ULTRIX 4.0. Easy to say but difficult to realize. We're apparently on a maintenance contract so we should receive it. However, the person designated to receive ULTRIX 4.0 has not gotten it yet and does not know when it will arrive. The local office haven't been able to help in this yet. Patch the system to recognize the new drive. The local office sent me the changes for an RZ56 (which they apparently have a write-up for) and the disktab for a RZ57. However, there aren't any instructions on how to set up a RZ57. Pretty useless since I don't know what to change still. Thus, we are still stuck with a RZ57 disk that we can't hook up. This is reaching a critical point for us since we're running out of disk space to do work. Things definitely are not going smoothly. Yan. )~ Yan K.
