[rescue] SCSI Question

[Peter Stokes]

Hi

Not wanting to further complicate things, but I seem to remember that some
wide SCSI drives did not play well with narrow interfaces. I think all the Sun
branded ones I tried worked ok and the same was true with the LVD/SE issue. I
would be pretty confident with any Sun drive supported in the normal systems
such as the 2500 that it will work with an adapter. The same issue is true of
running them in a SS20 or SS5 which have a narrow SE interface.
