I only dabble in hardware so excuse any small mistakes. As I understand it the old sun3 shoe boxes actually contain an EDSI drive and the controller then changes things to a SCSI interface for connection to the workstation. We have a spare EDSI drive (150 meg Wren III) that we would like to add to a sun 3/60. Is it possible to add the second EDSI drive to the controller? Would this just look like a extra SCSI device on the first SCSI controller to the workstation? Is this how the SCSI tape device is added to the box? We tried it out, connecting the cable one way produced nothing but SCSI errors and the other way around the drive was completly ignored.
