Oh, now I need a disk for that machine. Right now it is running diskless as a satellite of

vaxstation firmware can't handle disks bigger than that. Anyone knows if that is true?
Can I plug in a generic, big SCSI disk and hope it will work?
Tell that to the 146GB SCA SCSI disks I have in my 4000/90.
Nice!
One word of warning, the disk carrier won't fit back into the machine with the
SCA/50-pin adapters. The cables hit the inside "wall" between the disks and
5.25" bay.
