Is there any SunSparc user there that has experience with Sun SMD-4 or
Xylogic Disk Controller. I would like to connect them to a 3.0M bits/s
CDC Disk. I would like to know what is the pros and cons between them.
Problem finding the right cable, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure before connecting to the disk that they are compatible. Russ Poffenberger Schlumberger Technologies poffen@sj.ate.slb.com

The first SMD-4's supported only 2.4 MB/s, but the SMD-4's shipping now do support 3.0MB/s. I have one connected to a CDC 9720-1.2GB 3.0MB/s drive and it does work.
