I have put in some 1 gig and 2 gig HP drives and they seem to work fine.
They are not quite modern, but better than RZ23's.....(:+}}...

No problems installing them.  If they read in the prom correctly,
they should load and go fine.

I always (really, always) LLFMT via prom, before loading anything,
to make sure the VAXstation is happy.  That cures many problems,
but takes overnite, usually.
