Maybe somebody can clarify something for me. I had an 3100/M38
a few years ago and had to buy a disk for it. At the time I
bought a Quantum 210 MB drive. In order to use it with VMS
I had to get a special utility that I ran from my PC with the
drive and had to turn off the "Write-Preallocation" feature
off on the drive.

Is this strictly a VMS thing?
