[SunRescue] SCSI cards for Ultra5/10 workstations...

[Ken Hansen]

I can't believe this thread (sorry everyone), but here is my best guess for a
commonly available SCSI card for the Ultra workstations:

    Tekram DC-390F:

    Tekram DC-390F, Ultra Wide SCSI, Symbios 53c875 chipset, 32-bit PCI PnP,
     busmastering transfer protocol, up to 15 targets, IDC 50(M) & Mini DB68(F)
     internal connectors, Mini DB68(F) pin external connector, retail kit
includes:
     3-position Mini DB68(M) PVC insulated flat ribbon cable, 3-position IDC
50(F)
     PVC insulated flat ribbon cable, manuals and driver diskettes, 5-year
warranty.

    (Taken from www.hypermicro.com - these cards apppear to be quite common)

    Per the Ultra5 Summary site mentioned earlier in the "uber" thread, the
Symbios
53c875 cards should work. I want this card to work - for $75 + $8 2nd day
shipping
I would be *very* happy if this worked - any responses?

    The Ultra5 Summary site is at: http://www.grina.com/ultra5.html if you are
curious.

Thanks,
