Hello out there in iris land, Picure this... IRIS 4D50/GT with small (170 MByte) ESDI disk and SCSI tape drive ( "there sure is lots of space in the tape drive box for 'stuff'" I say to myself. ) The stuff... 200 MByte 3.5" winchester, ( Maxtor LXT200S, SCSI interface, very inexpensive, about $1300 Cdn.) The operation... make up a new SCSI cable/power cable/mounting bracket. Bolt it all together and what do you get. Success??? Has anyone tried anything like this? I am successfully using these drives in VAXStation and DECStation 3100's and if they work with DEC's SCSI I would think they should work with everyones. Has anyone got any comments on partitioning the disk once it is physically installed? Thank's in advance...
