I friend of mine was telling me about a 9G Seagate drive he was testing but I guess that is 9G unformatted, taking it down to less than 8G formatted. The fact that drives this size exists must mean that >8G drives could be built sometime soon. Do any of the different SCSI flavours (fast, wide, wider, tall, etc...) support larger drives? -- Doug Rabson, RenderMorphics Ltd. Mail: dfr@render.com Phone: +44 71 251 4411 FAX: +44 71 251 0939
