So, I'd like to keep at least a 4Gb drive as a
replacement.
If I really
can use a new 73 Gig Cheetah, then that's probably how I'll go. The
drive I replace is the 5.25 inch full height drive, and I
have room in
the cabinet where the third drive bay is, so I could put an
adapter in
that space.
I have a 68-pin 73GB Quantum Atlas that I briuefly ran in my VS400-90,
but the disk is just too noisy to have in my study. That's the largest
working SCSI disk I have so I cannot comment on (say) 146GB drives but
I cannot imagine that they would be a problem. (If you try a 2TB SATA
drive via a SCSI<=>SATA bridge of some sort I expect you'd hit the
VMS volume size limit perhaps).
This is what I have running in my VAXstation 3100 M90 (under OpenVMS
VAX):

Those are all 18GB drives, all 68-pin SCSI2, IIRC.
I've had trouble getting SCA-80 drives to work in that system through an
adapter, but the (working) 68-pin SCSI-2 drives I've tried have been
fine.
I'll be interested to hear how things go for you.
