HP reved the SCSI at C200 - it's now Ultra-Wide-SE (confusing moniker- sounds like it
should be 32-bit datapath
or something. Ultra narrow also brings up interesting mental pictures). All dual-bus HP9ks
will boot off of a narrow CD-ROM,
seems likely some at least will boot from narrow HDDs.
Thanks Scott. I only had to go on the C110's that I and several of us
have, and some
other Visualize boxes. I have several of the HVD to single ended wide
converter
boxes I bought some time ago, and can use any wide drive with it, but I have
not tried to fit a converter and a drive into the box at the same time.
Should be
doable with the space, but just not enough time to try it.
Thanks for the tip on the C240. I have not powered it up yet, so it may
be a doorstop anyaway.
I forgot to mention in the last posting thanks to Billy Pettit who was with
me at TRW and helped lug the C240, a C110, and some 713 box back
to the car that we got for $50 at the TRW swap meet. It was $40 for
each box, or take all for $50, so ended up filling the trunk.
