Hello...

I've run into problems trying to get a Toshiba 1.2GB (formatted)
drive to work with Solaris 2.1 on an LX. I heard that Solaris 2.1
may have added some preformance boosts like using tag queuing, stuff
that 4.1.x was not doing, so drives that work with 4.1.x may not
work with Solaris 2.1.

I'd like to put together a list (which will ofcourse be summerized
and posted back here) of third party drives that DO work with Solaris
2.1. If you have definite knowledge of a Solaris 2.1 configuration
running on a third party SCSI drive, please e-mail me with the
exact model of the drive. No need to tell me about working Sun
disks, as they [I should hope] will obviously work with Solaris 2.1.

I am especially interested in 3.5", ~1.2GB (formatted) drives, but
I'll summerize all the data that comes in.

AdvThanks,
