[HECnet] SSD for Vax

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Why did the early PeeCees wear 528 Megabyte drives as their largest
drives? (This despite the fact that to use it, the early operating
systems would also be size confused.) The BIOS the computers wear was
problematic.

In this case Cory is right, lack of determination. Plus other things.

This adapter is available on ebay for $149 and he says they work well
in Vaxstations. He also has some which take CF flash cards.


Which is great, but again you run in to the snag that I've never seen a
SATA disk smaller than 40GB and the upper size limit on a VAXstation is
typically 18GB. Somewhat problematic.



I have 2 20G laptop SCSI drives...


WHY does this keep coming up?   There is no such limitation!


Lack of determination.
