RE: Explaing the difference in PC vs AS/400 disk... $$$$$$

[James Turnbull <jamest@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have re-used a number of 2 Gb drives from an AS/400 in a SCSI array in
an NT server.  They work fine and seem to be more reliable than
off-the-shelf SCSI drives.

                                                                James

        One IBMer says he's taken the SCSI drives from trashed AS/400
drives,
        reformatte d them, and run them on his PC at home.  However, he
says he
        can't go the other way because the formatting is different, and
the 400
        won't re-format a PC format drive from scratch....  but,
physically,
        they're the same.
