Good to know.

I have a question.   A list member passed me an RF35 drive for testing.
It is loaded on my MV3300.  But, when installing the drive, I noticed that
the label said ``RF35/RZ35''.  What does that mean, specifically?
That sort of smells like an RF drive is really a SCSI drive?

What exactly is different between RF and RZ drives?

Why cannot you use an RZ drive on a DSSI bus?

What is the thing with the 4 prong vs 5 prong power connectors?

Can someone explain what is going on here?

Thanks

Bob
