Ok now here is a question that I have gotten _many_ conflicting answers
on...
What kind of SCSI controller is on the Sun3/160M system? SCSI-1 or -2?
I would like to get a drive for this system soon but the problem that I
have right now is that I don't know what kind of drive I can hang off of
it...
Right now there is a 50 pin (3-rows) D-Connector on it (VME Board That
is) and that's about all that I have to identify the VME board except for
the fact that it has the label "SCSI" painted next to the port.
Now the thing that is "confusing" is that I have heard conflicting rumors
that I can hang a SCSI-2 HD off of a SCSI-1 controller or (the more
logical) hang a SCSI-1 HD off of a SCSI-2 controller. I'm realy confused
as SCSI hardware has been a bit of "black magic" to me for the last 7 or
so years...like I knew it was there but wasn't going near it because the
PC hardware was so exorbitantly expensive that it wasn't an option.
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
