Sorry if this topic has been thrashed to death, but some help would
be appreciated.

We are interested in putting second and/or larger drives into our
Apollo workstations. It appears that it is not possible to put 2nd
drives onto them because the OS plus the utilities can't cope. Can
anyone either confirm or deny this ? We currently run SR9.7.1 but
will be going to SR10 in the next 2-3 weeks. (The actual hardware is
no problem since the controllers can take two drives.)

Has anyone had experience putting a larger drive into one of these
machines ?  Do we have to restrict ourselves to one of the drives
on the list of drives shown when running 'config' ?

Any help or relevant stories would be appreciated.
