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, then I suspect using them is a safe bet. On this note, can anyone provide direct reports of using these drives and any KPRs on installation or reliability? ======================================================================= Guy Smith Voice: 804-527-4000 ext 6664 Circuit City Stores, Inc.
