Has anyone used an Exabyte with the Adaptec SCSI board under IBM/4.3 with the SCSI patches available from the UFl archives? What other SCSI disks have people used this driver with? Does the Adaptec SCSI board (AHA1540A or AHA1542) do sync SCSI, or is there a version that does that is software compatible with these two? Jeff

We've been able to support both the 300Mb and 600Mb disks marketed for the RS/6000, as well as 3rd party (non-IBM remarketed) 8mm SCSI tape drives.
