[SunRescue] Differential controller?

[Brian McCloskey]

you, will of course need a different differential controller for the indy, 
which ships with single-ended scsi controllers. if i remember correctly, you 
will need a gio-bus differential adapter, and i think you can use the 
controller that shipped in the challenge S by default. you will want to 
double check that, but you can probably get a whole challenge S for $100, 
and if you don't already have all of the gio slots full you could swap it.
