Get some old DEC Storageworks shelves off eBay; thats what NetApp relabeled
and sold along with the F330.

I doubt it.  I dont think the F330 (pentium 120) is fast enough to run
FC-AL drives or the card needed to run them.  For that matter, I dont
think any OS that runs on the F330 (OnTap release) will support FC drives.

I think everyone just puts Storageworks shelves (BA350, etc) on theirs...
