I'm actually threatening to put a large ~250GB IDE drive in my XP1000/667,

up the drives in the middle of the night and resubmits itself. Though it
has been quite a while since I did any serious DCL scripting. As the system
has a built in UW-SCSI, plus I've added U2W-SCSI, and FW-SCSI-Diff, I have
no desire to try and actually run on IDE!
I'm thinking regular backups to the IDE drive, and occasional backups to
DLT.

I finally used IDE on an Alpha for the first time
this last week on one of
my new XP1000's. It wasn't stellar, but as I was booting from CD-ROM, I
didn't expect much.
Thanks for reminding me - my Alpha DS10 was, according to the Alpha
Technologies course, designed to be an IDE machine out of the box despite
that every DS10 I've worked on ever had a Qlogic QLA1040 (or equivalent)
SCSI board in running 2 or 3 U2/U3 SCSI drives. Time to dig out a spare IDE
drive and see how different the speed is!
