we'd like to add a SCSI disk to our 3/50 so as to have local swap space.
can someone who has done this via 3rd party hardware vendors answer the
following questions:
1- can we use any type of SCSI disk, such as a Quantum drive which
machines like macintoshes use?
2- do we need any special additional hardware, like controllers, to
support this arrangement.
3- should /root and other file systems reside with the swap space?
4- how good is the performance in doing something like this?
please send replies via e-mail.
thanks in advance.
