[comp.unix.questions] SUN disks

Subject: SUN Local Disks and SCSI Interface 

	We would like to connect Fujitsu's new 389 MByte disk drive to
the SCSI port on a SUN 3/60 workstation.  We know that this can be done 
if we use an Emulex controller board to interface the drive to SUN's
SCSI interface.  However, Fujitsu has a version of this disk drive with
a built-in SCSI disk controller, which we would prefer to use.  Does 
anyone have any experience with non-SUN local disks?  What kinds of SCSI 
compatibility problems (if any) have arisen?  How difficult was it to 
generate the appropriate UNIX device drivers?  Any assistance would be 
appreciated!
