[comp.periphs] Generic 6MB/sec IPI drives on Sun?

km@mathcs.emory.edu (Ken Mandelberg) (09/05/90)

Does anyone have any experience running the generic
version of the Seagate 6MB/sec parallel transfer IPI drive
on a Sun 490?

We have one, and find that it although it formats and verifies
properly, it goes off line (and must be power cycled) under
some load conditions. The Sun supplied version of the drive
to which it is daisy chained, doesn't have the problem. 

I'm trying to find out if we have a defective drive, or if
in fact Sun has modified theirs to avoid the problem. 

Anyone know?
