[SPARCbook] MobileStor 6400SCSI drive

[Russell F Maginnis]

I have a Sparcbook S3 with 64Mb internal, a 1.2 Gb hardrive and an external
2.1Gb Sun drive and Solaris 2.5.1..  Do your comments concerning installation
of the MobileStor 6400SCSI in a 3GX apply equally to my S3? If so,  will I need
additional patches or even be required to move to Solaris 2.6?  I hate to
disturb this thing.  Though I seldom use it, it runs just fine.  Thanks, in
advance, for the advice.  Russell Maginnis, russmag at anet..net
