Thanks Allison,
It has been a while since this--and I don't even have the
machine anymore, but I guess I can consider this debunked.
At the time it was VMS-5.5.4. I was using the machine as
an X-terminal for want of it running real-X.

sitting on it's side next to my big Sequent server).
Thanks again!
Andy

Subject: RE: New drives in the M3100/M76
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?
