controller. The system is runnning OpenVMS V6.2-1h2,
console firmware was last updaed from CD ROM V3.5. The drives are not being
recognizrd at the console as 4.3Gigabytes.
The show up as 55Megabyte drives. The drives have not been formated by the
customer they are new
out of the box. Seagate firmware level is unknown.

| It sounds like an integer overflow; the drive's capacity is about
2^32 bytes, plus 55MB.
Still, the problem is merely cosmetic. The console code won't care about
the drive's capacity, unless you're booting from it. The operating
system should have no trouble seeing the correct capacity. Is the customer
having trouble using the drive?

| Since when does the console of the 2100 display the size of SCSI drives?
Can you get a log which shows the (bad) display and post it here?

| My comment stands, whether the console code is "old" or not...
