An SGI version of the drive. It could be they've got some sort of > funky firmware in the drive. What I've seen of SGI OEM drives (mostly in SGI systems) is that you couldn't ask for better. The DCHS04Y is the standard 4G drive shipped in SGI O2 systems. IMHO there is more than a small chance this HD is sick. Its not often a premium priced SGI HD finds itself on a non-SGI system. If it is sick its possibly new enough the SGI system is still under warranty. If so, you could have a replacement the next day. BTDT. What would really be sweet is to get an SGI OEM firmware'd Archive/ Seagate DDS drive as those are the only DDS drives that can do digital audio over SCSI. They can play/record/copy DAT audio. But then there is the problem of lack of software to make use of such, unless you have an SGI host and Irix. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
