If not, HP ought to be clearer about it - perhaps calling it HP-SCSI. I hope someone from HP can clarify what we "gain" by the "special" nature of SCSI disk drives for MPE. Still, I like this situation better than a unique, (e.g. HPFL) solution - we do gain from the wider experience everyone has with SCSI, even if we do have to buy HP MPE "special" SCSI drives to work with an HP3000. -- -- - - - Speaking for myself and not necessarily anybody else - - - - - - Richard Gambrell | Internet: [log in to unmask] Mgr.
