Just one more question, which (if any) of the prefixes fast, ultra, and wide 
are acceptable to the decstation?

Thanks,

Yes. I have a 5000/150 (same motherboard, r4000 CPU) with a 4.5-gig
IBM oem-version commodity drive. Works great.
Built several releases on it, in fact.

If you plan to mount the drive internally (inside the cpu cabinet) it
may pay to look for a drive which can be set to defer spinup until it
gets a SCSI IDENTIFY command or an explicit spinup. That keeps the
power-supply in the case marginally happier -- especially if you have
more than one internal drive.  Other than that, any old thing should
work.  The netbsd/pmax scsi code is even robust enough to handle some
pre-scsi-2 drives.
