[comp.periphs.scsi] SCSI Drives on a Novell network

ALG106@PSUVM.PSU.EDU (03/21/90)

The company I work for is installing a Novell Network.  They purchased
a 33 MHz Northgate 386 with two 300 MB CDC SCSI disk drives.  The problem
is the company that will install the network for us does not wish to use
the CDC drives, claiming that they aren't Novell certified, and they want
to sell us their drives (drives they sell, not produce).

My questions are:
    1)  Has anyone used CDC drives or had any experience with them and if so
        what is your opinion of them?
    2)  If you have solid reasoning for your opinion, is there a specific
        manufacture of drive that we should be using on our network?
    3)  Do you have any other comments regarding Novell networks, Northgate
        computers as file servers, or SCSI hard disks?

If you have any questions, please E-Mail me.


                                      Thank You,
                                          Andy
