Thanks to Bill Hassell, John Lee, Carlos Montana, Alex Vinson, and Stephan
Oakes for their replies.
Bottom line is you can't do LVD SCSI for a K-Class box. Carlos did have an
interesting workaround though. Apparently you can buy third party hvd to
lvd converters. Apparently he bought a replacement drive from HP for his K
box that was actually LVD with such a convertor installed. HP wouldn't sell
him one but he did find them. He did give the caveat that he has not tried
one on a tape unit.

Thanks to all,

Tony Kruse

to go to Ultrium 460s.
> The Ultrium 460s require LVD SCSI (Ultra II). We have a K260 server with
2 half height slots available. Does HP make a LVD SCSI interface for the K
boxes?
