I haven't come across detailed information about the possibility of connecting third-party SCSI disk drives to IBM RISC System/6000 computers. Can anyone point me to information about this or tell me of experiences? I looked in InfoExplorer on an AIX 3.1(9021) system, but found only the "How to Configure a Hard Disk onto the System" section, and it doesn't explictly say that SCSI disks from other than IBM are supported. Is there anything like disktab(5) of 4.3BSD UNIX in AIX 3.1? What SCSI controllers and devices is the RISC System/6000 SCSI interface compatible/incompatible with? Just wondering what other readers of this group have to say. I have asked an IBM representative about this a bit, but it is not a priority for me. I do like filesystem features of AIX 3.1 -- the logical volume group system eliminates disk partitioning guesswork and restrictions quite nicely. Gary
