[I tried posting this once before, but I didn't see it on the archives or digest mailings, so I am resubmitting it.] I have an AlphaServer 300 4/266 with no hard drive. The machine powers up, and seems to be running ok, but I don't have the root password. (I think it is running Tru64 Unix.) My question is about the hard drive - the box doesn't have one, and I'm not so familiar with scsi hard drives. I found a spec sheet for this model online, which says that the internal scsi controller is a: fast narrow single edged scsi-2 controller with dma The hard drives that could be ordered for this box were: PBXRZ-EB 1.05 GB 8-bit narrow 5400 RPM 3.5 x 1" SCSI hard disk drive (RZ26N) PBXRZ-JC 2.1 GB 8-bit narrow 7200 RPM 3.5 x 1" SCSI disk drive (RZ28L) PBXRZ-NB 4.3 GB 8-bit narrow 7200 RPM 3.5 x 1" SCSI hard disk drive (RZ29L) Could someone with scsi hardware experience point me toward a cable for this beast? I don't know the scsi variations to know what I need. Also, any suggestions on used drives that would work would be appreciated. I primarily want to get the machine running to see how it performs as a server (the spec says it has 2mb of secondary cache), and because I first learned "real" programming on a DEC (a pdp11-23 ;) Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
