Hi George (grr@cbmvax),

Thanks for posting the additional info re: ST506 and ST412 differences.

I didn't; I kept my original answer within the context of the original
question (number of heads).  I didn't see need to enter several pages of
specs!   :-)

Re: large drives: yes, they're really dropping in price on the surplus
market (re: NEW drives).  380MB Maxtors can be purchased for under $2,000
each;  Dale Luck just purchased 3 and I purchased 2; mine work fine with the
Supra 4x4 (on A1000) but Dale was unable (as of last week) to get his to
function with the A2090A (the XT-3380 are embedded SCSI drives; you may wish
to check with Dale and/or Kodiak re: their analysis of the problem(s)).
