These were the answers, all saying that there shouldn't
be a problem:
rnf@spitfire.tbird.com (Rick Fincher'):
We are running a Quantum Fireball 3 gig drive as a boot disk in a Sparc 10 with
no problems under Solaris 2.5.
Dan Pritts <danno@aa.fv.com>:
given that sun ships the quantum fireball 1.0G as the stock drive in
sparc 4 machines nowadays you should be fine (and you should be fine
anyway, in general, i've used all sorts of drives on suns and almost
all of them worked fine, i do remember one IBM drive out of an RS-6000
that didn't work in anything but an RS-6000).
get scsiinfo or scsiping from the net and they will interrogate
the drive and give you a disktab entry for it.
Gnuchev Fedor <qwe@ht.eimb.rssi.ru>:
no problems are expected - you can add it in external box without stopping
machine and try out. Should work without hitch.
"Feist, Bruce" <feibr02@mail.cai.com>:
I'm using one such drive under 2.5.1 on a SparcStation 1+; I'm not
having any problems that I'm aware of.
