We are about to buy an ESDI disk for our 4D120GTX. A distributor has offered an Hitachi DK515-78 (780MB, ESDI, 20MHz) at an attractive price. Our Iris has an Interphase (sp?) model 3201 ESDI controller. We are running Irix 3.2.1 and fx "knows" the "Hitachi 515-78." *** Question *** Can the Interphase 3201 controller properly com- municate with this particular Hitachi drive? *** Question *** Is the fx designation of "Hitachi 515-78" sufficient for our initiallizing, formatting and using the disk. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -- Marty Weinhous weinhous@castor.wustl.edu Radiation Oncology, Washington U. !uunet!wucs1!dinorah!weinhous St. Louis, MO 63105, 314/362-2600
