Does anyone have any experience with Introl Corporation's SCSI host
adaptor on the Sun 3? They say they do Synchronous (4 MB/sec)
Connect-Disconnect, and other good SCSI things that Sun's SCSI board does
not. If so, I plan to get one, but I thought I'd ask if anyone's had any
experiences with Introl, good or bad. I'd be interested in other 3rd
party SCSI boards as well, as long as they do Synch, Con-Disconn, and
support the Common Command Set. Sun (even their new & misnamed "SCSI-3")
fails on the first two counts, and I'm not so sure of the 3rd.
Mail to me and I'll summarize to the net if there's interest.
Also, has anyone played with the just-released CDC Wren VII yet?
1.2 GB synch SCSI, 16ms access time.
And if anyone's interested in seeing how 29 SCSI disks rate, Dataquest
apparently just released a comprehensive survey. I haven't seen it, I
just heard about it at the IEEE System Design & Networking Conference,
still in progress.
