Im finding it rough going with only the standard 4GB disk in the C360.
Can I replace it with an off the shelf standard SCSI disk?
(There's no HVD "diff" SCSI in this thing)

In it now is the factory HP OEM HD, which is really a Seagate Barracuda 4GB
UW disk variant, the drive label said firmware "HP01". The (old) docs only
mention 2, 4 and 9GB sizes. What's the general concensus on succeeding
with a standard 18 or 36GB disk? Should be backwards compatible with UW,
EVEN if the disk is Ultra2/3 whatever? This thing operates on a 40MB/sec
type interface (UW) I think.

Any ideas?

Really? I swore I had a C360 and it was differential SCSI.

If it's not then "off the shelf" should work.

Well, the HP orig docs do state that both types of configuration exists...
...and the disk in it now is a "ST34572W" (and not a "WD" suffix, which
Seagate claims would signify Wide Diff.) Plus I can see that the
terminators inside are UW types.

Thank you kindly for the suggestion that it at least *should* be happy with
regular SCSI disk!

I had lots of different disks in my old C360 before I sold it. You don't
need a HP disk, any generic SCSI disk (SE or LVD) will do it just fine...
