I thought I might tell folks who are always complaining about expensive disks about a really good deal ... Hi Tech distributors in LA has a DSP3210D 2.1 GB drive for sale, for $299 each. This is a smallish 1.6 inch height, 3.5" wide drive, and seems to run great for me on FreeBSD. It comes with a differential scsi interface, but also includes a differential to scsi adapter. It's scsi-2 fast, and my dmesg show: (ncr0:1:0): "DEC DSP3210S 442A" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ncr0:1:0): Direct-Access sd1(ncr0:1:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 2047MB (4194303 512 byte sectors) sd1(ncr0:1:0): with 3045 cyls, 16 heads, and an average 86 sectors/track (ncr0:2:0): "DEC DSP3210D 442J" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd2(ncr0:2:0): Direct-Access sd2(ncr0:2:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 2047MB (4194303 512 byte sectors) I have two of these. I'm using one of the differential converters to make s sub-scsi bus, connected to both of the drives. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
