Any particular reason you guys are using the RaSCSI or older SCSI2SD?
They are really intended for early SCSI-1 devices like 68k Macs and samplers... for pretty much any sparcstation with enough internal space you want a SCSI2SD V6 which can do Narrow SCSI-II since it can do FAST10 and synchronous transfers. SCSI2SD has been around much longer and is probably more refined than RaSCSI also. SCSI2SD v6 is worth it for any narrow SCSI-2 system.

On machines newer than sun4m... just get a real SCSI drive, or a commercial converter or an IDE adapter. Neither SCSI2SD or RaSCSI is the right tool for the job because its going to perform vastly worse.
