Conner made 100mb drives to *Digital*'s specs but I suspect Digital
may had used differnt brands using same number RZ23. These bit odd
drives comes with different firmware. It will NOT spin up on power
up because of that firmware. I was told that hd needs specific scsi
controllers that have proper spinup commands to start them after
that, it's typical SCSI drives. :)

Better put 'em in digital machines for pete's sakes. :)

(long ago, I was given 2 but I don't have right controller so I gave
them back to original owner and got suitable HD instead. :) )

Oh, by the way RZ24 also can be Conner or different makes in 200 mb
range.
