[SunRescue] help with scsi, mem, etc

[Mahesh Babbar]

Dan ,

Hi,

Adaptec's 2940-OF will work ( OF stands for Open Firmware ). You can try PCI
SCSI cards from Symbios i.e. LSI Technologies, Tekram and Aurora
Technologies also. Frankly speaking , I have not tested any of this. The
info is based on some R&D efforts on the web.

Ultra 5 uses 168 PIN DIMMs which is found on most of the PCs today. But they
are not compatible as there is some physical dimension difference on the
grooves on the memory edges.

Regards,

Mahesh
