We're in the habit of buying CDC WrenV and WrenVI drives for our DECstations and we're wondering if the RS/6000 and/or AIX support such 3rd party SCSI devices. Our first attempt at adding a WrenV to the RS/6000 resulted in a machine that would not boot up. We only had fifteen minutes to play with it, so we have not spent much time trying to make it work --- yet. We'd appreciate comments on 3rd party SCSI devices that are known to work and how thay are installed. We know the IBM drives are very fast, but an extra 600MB for ~$2400 is an attractive option for us. thanks. paul buster buster@snoopy.Colorado.EDU
