I'm going to testing in another country on a Ultra machine,
is it possible for me to move the system hard disk from the development site
Ultra machine to the testing site Ultra machine? What should be done
to restore my system hard disk on the testing site?
My system disk is a IDE hard disk.
Regards,
Ken

I have not had any problems using a disk from an Ultra 10 in an Ultra 5. As
long as the two systems are of the same type, you should be okay.

When I was at Axil, we experimented with this some. Annoyingly, we didn't
put the MachIO at the same physical address as the Sparc 5, nor did we
put it in the same location on our two different MicroSPARC-II chip systems,
so we couldn't move boot drives back and forth. However, our two Sparc 20
type clones had it in the same place as our Sparc 10 clone (the 420, 320,
and 311 respectively) if I remember correctly, and you could move the
disks around somewhat within that set.
In general, though, don't bother trying.

1. Ultra 5 IDE hard disks - can I use any PC hard disk?
I need to buy a bigger hard disk for my Ultra 5. It has a 9.1GB disk at
present and I want to ADD aonther disk. I've seen some disks out of a newer
U5 and they're 20GB Seagate Barracuda ATAII's. I believe this is a regular
disk used in many x86 PC's. Can I buy any popular x86 hard disk and use
that? Is there a size limit? I'm looking at buying a 40GB disk for my
Ultra 5. Are there PROM limitations like the PC has (i.e. 8GB disk size
limit).
