Hi,

I need to install an High Voltage Differential SCSI Controller onto our
Ultra E-450.

Sun's X6541A runs for over $1,000.00.

I know you can buy these used for anywhere between 500.00 and 750.00

But we'd still like a cheaper alternative(200.00 - 300.00, thereabouts).

I know that Adaptec and LSI don't technically support anything that'd be
installed on anything but an Intel platform.

But -----I think----- that there've been people who've made these
work on architectures such as Sparc.

Does anyone have any success stories with regard to installing a
Non-Sun-Microsystems Differential SCSI Controller card on a Sparc
platform?

Thanks,

Rich
