I'm looking forward to add a 141 Mb SCSI drive and a 60 Mb SCSI cartridge drive to a Sun 3/160, which already has two Micropolis 1325 (72 Mb's) SCSI drive and an Archive 60 Mb cartridge drive running (as sd0, sd1 and st0). I onder if I can "chain up" the prospective/additional SCSI equipments (the 141 Mb drive and 60 Mb mt drive) on the existing SCSI bus/cable? ie, without buying an additional SCSI host adapter. SCSI specs say I can do that (chaining them up), but don't know if Sun's kernel supports it. Btw, I'm running SunOS 4.1. If chaining them up is not feasible, where can I buy cheap/used SCSI adapters for use with Sun 3's VME bus? Btw, the additional 141 Mb SCSI drive and the 60 Mb cartridge drive plus readily to a Sun 3/60's SCSI port. But instead of using it on a Sun 3/60 desktop, I wanna use it on the Sun 3/160's deskside. Hope that makes the picture a little clearer. I'd appreciate any information, thanks in advance. /aaron.cheung aaron@ux.acs.umn.edu
