    Does the HSZ40 support FWD drives?

No, the HSZ40 only supports FNSE drives.  Well, I suppose it also supports FWSE
drives but they must revert to FNSE.
5385.3that and the fact that we don't sell FWD RZ disks ;^) Not since the RZ74D that is.SUBSYS::VIDIOT::PATENAUDEAsk your boss for ARRAY's...Mon Apr 28 1997 15:570

    Hi
    
    Thanks for this.  I'm confused:  isn't the RZ29B-VW a fast wide
    differential disk?  I know it's 'wide'.  Is it not 'fast' and
    'differential'?
    
    Thanks

    No;  it's Single ended and not differential. As Roger said, we don't 
    do Differential drives.

    Gotcha.  So connecting fast wide drives like the RZ29B-VW to the
    HSZ40/50 is not a problem.
    
    Thanks!

5385.7not a problem as long as,,,SUBSYS::VIDIOT::PATENAUDEAsk your boss for ARRAY's...Tue Apr 29 1997 15:325
You can connect a -VW drive to a narrow controller as long as you are using a
BA356 (not a BA350) with a BA35X-MG narrow adapter.
