Do any of the 760 Meg (5.25 inch) SCSI drives work on a DecStation 3100?
Our first choice is the CDC Wren VI, then Hitachi DK 515-78C, then Maxtor.
Any info would be very helpful.

Thanks,

We're currently using a Fujitsu M2263 drive on our DS3100, it works OK,
bur must be
configured not to use synchronous SCSI since ULTRIX3.1 otherwise will
hang during 
autoconfig. Re-enabling synch SCSI on a running system at least doesn't
crash ULTRIX
but I don't know if you get any performance gain.
