9849.0. "RZ40 - 9.1GB supported ??" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (corinne haesaerts) Fri May 16 1997 07:09

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is official support for the new RZ40 
type disk in DUNIX.

If so, what is the minimum release.
The only reference I found said : Probably supported in V4.0 and
				  later....


Thanks

Yea, sorry about that.  I need to update that information.

The RZ40 first of all (at the time of it's release) wasn't
supported in direct connect forms (only behind HSZs of some
kind).  In that form (connected via a HSZ) they are supported
by any release that supports the HSZ (back to V2.0).

The latest announcements included direct connect support
which works as far back as V3.0.  I think however that the
H/W group decided to cut off the support at either V3.2 or
V3.2C.  I'll check as soon as I can, and update the database.
But definitely V3.2C and beyond are supported.

What good is the database afterall, if it's out of date.  The
problem, is that the H/W groups are now building/buying new
H/W faster than we can keep track of it.
