HVD vs. LVD SCSI

I hope this isn't too far off topic, this is rather urgent.

We've got a tape jukebox with a bunch of SDLT drives. The drives talk
HVD SCSI and are currently connected via 6m cables to an aging E3500
which we need to retire. I have a new V440 which I'd like to connect
this jukebox to. The old cards are SBus, so they're no good to me, and
I need PCI replacements for them. Now I'm struggling through the mire
of SCSI standards / compatibility matrices, but having laid out my needs
to my Sun rep he's come back with

Description: Dual-Channel Differential UltraSCSI PCI Host Adapter & 2 2M
SCSI Cables
Part Number: X6541A

Aren't these going to be LVD as opposed to HVD ? Does anyone haave a
part number for HVD adaptors or third party adaptors that are known to
work ?

Help!

Cheers,

Rob
