I have two 9GB 68-pin drives in my SGI Indy at the moment, and they're
working flawlessly with the oft-maligned 68 --> 50 pin SCSI adapters.  I
had been using the drives in a PowerMac 9500 and 7300 previously with
absolutely no problems.   My Indy is used as a combination web
server/NFS server, so it's powered up 24/7.  I've had absolutely no
problems with using these adapters.

  *  I will never enjoy the company of others.
  *  I will never bowdown to corporate interests.
  *  I will never surrender to Blackburn Radio Incorporated.
How these realities bode for my enemy, is of no concern to me.
