James...  Are there any drive limitations on the 4/330 as to
drive size or number of drives on the bus chain, in SunOS or
Solaris?  I was thinking Solaris 2.4 fixed the drive size limit,
but don't remember offhand for SunOS 4.1 (1 gig?) or 4.1.3 (1.3 gig?).

Also, can you confirm the scsi cabling from the cpu through the
drive bays and then out to external?

                 top plug ----------terminator or external drives?

    cpu   -----  bottom plug

Any other quirks, offhand, especially about the nvram chip.
I have been having bad karma with failing nvram chips lately.

Thanks
