[comp.sys.dec.micro] PRO Upgrade to 380

rl1b+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU (Robert A. Locke) (11/16/87)

I might be obtaining a PRO-350 sometime in the near future and
was wondering what the 380 upgrade involves.  Is it just a 
worthless upgrade designed to make DEC some more money off a
machine it has abandoned like the 190 upgrade for the Rainbow??

Also, what are the advantages/disadvantages of running P/OS versus
Xenix??

Lastly, how difficult is it to upgrade from a 10-meg drive to the
20-meg Seagate ST225 like I did on my Rainbow??  Are there any
PD formatting utilities that will work on it??  (By the way, the
ST225 is IDENTICAL to the RD31 DEC is selling).  I just need 
to know if the controller and the software can handle it.

Thanks.
