- Next time you post, please include enough information that someone can
- help you without having to derive your configuration from the symptoms
- of the problem. Model numbers and OS revision levels at least.
-
- If you are trying to use an Apollo DN series machine then yes, it is
- impossible. Although there is a WD7000 disk controller board with
- external SCSI port, this board will only drive certain types of tape
- drives.
-
- Note quite correct. The DN2500 supports SCSI disks including magneto-opticals.
- I beta tested this beast for Apollo a few years back. It is the only DN series
- to directly support SCSI disks.
