Does anyone
have any empty DEC Storageworks SBB cases
available? I'm trying to find some 5.25" cases I can
stick a CDROM drive and DLT drive in to use with my
Storageworks shelves so I can hot-swap the drives
between my two systems.
Good luck, the 5.25" ones are so rare I've never been able to get my hands
on one. Your best bet for finding one for a semi-outragous price (as
opposed to totally outragous price) is eBay. I'm pretty much totally StorageWorks for my DEC
gear, and I often wonder
why I don't get smart and move to a 3rd party solution. Though I can't
wait to get a house so I can fire up my StorageWorks RAID arrays :^) Just
got a DEC PCI Diff card so I'll be able to connect to one of them on Friday.
I've got a BA350, BA356, and RaidArray 310. I'd like to get
another HSZ20 to use with the one in the RA310 for redundant
backup. Even better I'd like to get an HSZ40 (or two). I'm
using the RA310 in a SCSI cluster with two PWS500au systems
with a FWD card in each box.
I for one would love an affordable CD-ROM SBB, and
TZ88 or TZ89 SBB :^)
Still figure the odds of that happening!
I have a DLT4000 (the same as a TZ87). I'd like a TZ88
or TZ89, but the DLT4000 works okay for now (and was
much cheaper than a TZ88).
