: Good point.  I cross-checked IODFAULT.PUB.SYS (used I think by SYSGEN
: for configuring supported devices) and found references for at least the
: DEC and Seagate drives.  If HP took the trouble to add these entries,

CSY could be OEMing disks from DEC or Seagate.  But you have to be careful,
because those drives could have different firmware than the ones you could
buy off the street.
 
: On this note, can anyone provide direct reports of using these drives and
: any KPRs on installation or reliability?
