Last year I upgraded our Netserver 486 LM by adding a 4gb drive to the
2 existing 1gb drives, all of which were connected to the on-board SCSI
controller. I had nothing but problems. Apparently, the new drive was
transferring data a much higher rate and when I tried copying large files
from drive to drive it would make the server ABEND. I added a second
SCSI controller card and moved the 4gb drive onto it and haven't had a
problem since.

        I have a HP Netserver "LC" 486 EISA DX4-100 Mhz PC. I need to
     replace the 1 Gig hard drive with a new or refurbished drive. I want a
     drive that is in the 2-4 Gig range. On the mother board is an Adaptec
     2740 controller that supports SCSI-II.

        Any non-HP solutions out there that work? In PC Today magazine I
     found:

     VENDOR    #MEGS MODEL#    msec    PRICE   Meg/sec
     =======   ===== ======    ====    =====   =======
     Seagate   2.1   32151N     7.0     $469.
     Quantum   2.16  FB2.1S    10.0     $399.
     Quantum   3.26  FB3.2S     9.0     $499.

     HP's prices were as follows:

     VENDOR        #MEGS MODEL#    msec  PRICE   Meg/sec
     =======       ===== ======    ====  =====   =======
     HP Surestore   2.x  D2077A    10.4   $819.  10
     HP Surestore   4.x  D4956A     8.5  1,300.  40 (SCSI-II F/WIDE ULTRA)

        I am looking for a refurbished motherboard replacement also(a new
     HP Pentium 133 motherboard, HP part #D3601A, was $1,629).

        Any help with the above, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
