Chuck,
the external harddrive I have is :Imprimis
94181-702D which shows asRA81 on
"show dev". Is this a really Scsi harddrive?
I checked the hardware reference at

http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/Hardware/Machines/DEC/vax/sections.html

The page shows this is a 456M harddrive connected
with "SDI" interface. Is this a scsi interface as well?

Thank you

Hank Lee
