I bought it in Feb. of 94 and paid $725.00 for it :-(. I installed FreeBSD 1.1 on it when I bought it and it has been running continuously since then. It is currently running the 950322 snap without any trouble. I have found the ST-31200N to be a solid, reliable drive. I would recomend it to anyone. >OH!

If your controller card was SCSI-2 and the devices were a mixture of SCSI-1 and SCSI-2, my guess would be that you should be ok. I'm sure that if I am wrong, I will br corrected. :-) > >- Steve >steve2@genesis.tiac.net > Josef -- Josef Grosch | joeg@truenorth.org | "Laugh while you can, monkey boy." finger for my | - Buckaroo Banzai - public PGP key |
