I tried formatting them on my VS3100 breadboard using test 75.  Alas,
they did not take to formatting.  There must be some minor IBMisms
with them.  What did you do to get them to run with your sun?
They sound like 5400 rpm drives, and are quite fast.  Alas, the
VAX did not do well on them.  Maybe my sun might?
