Unfortunately the physical drives in the box are only 4.5 GB. Not exactly state of the art...

If SCSI, then you could use them on a PC with the simple addition of a SCSI card. I am not aware of how expensive a Fibre Channel HBA card is, so if the disks are FC or SSA (is there an SSA card for a PC?), then this would likely not be cost effective. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
