They had some SCSI DRIVES for what I thought was a great price with a 1yr. warranty. What I like to Know is will any of those SCSI DRIVES work with the NeXT If the cube uses a SCSI adapter then the DIRVES should work, right or wrong? Some of the SCSI drives are listed below. MODEL CAP. ACCESS INTER. PRICE NDR3170 170MB 28ms SCSI 895.00 NDR3280 280MB 28ms SCSI 995.00 NDR3380 380MB 28ms SCSI 1095.00 NDR4175s 170MB 19ms SCSI 995.00 NDR4380s 380MB 19ms SCSI 1395.00 O.K. you Nextperts fill me in please, since I can't afford the 300mb drive that next's offers. thanks jami.

I have installed a CDC Imprimis Wren V (is that the right order?) 638 MB SCSI drive. The first problem was the IBMish looking front plate that came on the drive was about a 1/4" too wide to properly mount in the casing. Once we were able to pry the glued-on plate off, the drive easily slid into the casing and the next task was to find 4 mounting screws (trivial). We then plugged everything in according to our intuitions (it wasn't too hard to figure which plug went in which slot. We then put everything back together and set down to writing a /etc/disktab. The writing of the disktab was the difficult part and there is a lot of information that I was not sure about. I was only able to set up two partitions and even then I had to do a lot of tweeking of the disktab to get it to work correctly. I was only able to get 573 MB out of the drive and am sure I am not using the drive to its full capacity. If anyone has a good disktab for the Wren V (CDC 94181-638) could you please send it to me? BTW, The drive is a GREAT improvement over the optical (and at a price that is fantastic)!! Bryce Jasmer jasmerb@hobbes.cs.orst.edu >From: tjt@samedi.tis.llnl.gov (Tim Tessin)
