We have had a nightmarish summer trying to get a SCSI card to work in our Sun 4/280 with a Wren V drive. We had a Ciprico controller in June but after 3 weeks of effort Ciprico told us we needed a revision 14 or higher CPU board (we have a rev 8). We had a Xylogics 720 controller from July-August but it would never work; we even shipped Xylogics our Wren V so that they could duplicate our problems and fix their driver. Xylogics was able to duplicate our problems but after two weeks of keeping our drive they could not fix their driver so we finally requested our drive back. We now have our Wren V hanging off of a SUN 3/60 but we sure would like to move it to our SUN 4/280. We are in the market for any SCSI card that works in a SUN 4/280 (including SUN's SCSI adapter). Question #1: Does anybody have a SCSI card in a SUN 4/280 with a Wren V hanging off of it? Question #2 Sun will sell you a SCSI controller for a SUN 4/280. What manufactorer makes this controller? Does anybody have one installed? Thanks a lot. Bob Reese (reese@ee.msstate.edu) (601) 325-3912
