I tried a quantum SCSI I had (120mb) for laughs and it works fine after
test-75, same for a bunch of other brands, some only needed to be "init"
from VMS to be useable. I have no clue as to the fuss.
I have:
1 3100/m76
3 3100/m10e
None seems to have much problem with anything I have floating around for
disks save for the 1gb limit on the /m10s for bootable system disks.

Maybe somebody can clarify something for me. I had an 3100/M38
a few years ago and had to buy a disk for it. At the time I
bought a Quantum 210 MB drive. In order to use it with VMS
I had to get a special utility that I ran from my PC with the
drive and had to turn off the "Write-Preallocation" feature
off on the drive.
Is this strictly a VMS thing?
