Scenario: Manager purchased a Single-Ended SCSI (375-0005) card to use
with A1000s. The Sun System Engineer handbook and other documents do
not list the 375-0005. I asked for confirmation of this.
10 responses were received within a few minutes stating that, as the
literature states, the Single-Ended SCSI controller will not work with
an A1000. The Differential SCSI controller is required; its Sun part
number is 375-0006.
Many "Thanks!" to all whom responded.
Thank you!
