    Thanks to Bill Hassell, John Lee, Carlos Montana, Alex Vinson, and Stephan
    Oakes for their replies.
    Bottom line is you can't do LVD SCSI for a K-Class box. Carlos did have an
    interesting workaround though. Apparently you can buy third party hvd to
    lvd converters. Apparently he bought a replacement drive from HP for his K
    box that was actually LVD with such a convertor installed. HP wouldn't sell
    him one but he did find them. He did give the caveat that he has not tried
    one on a tape unit.

    Thanks to all,

    Tony Kruse

    > We are pushing the limits of our DLTIV tape backup system and are looking
    to go to Ultrium 460s.
    > The Ultrium 460s require LVD SCSI (Ultra II). We have a K260 server with
    2 half height slots available. Does HP make a LVD SCSI interface for the K
    boxes?
