I know some people have used SCSI cards intended for the PC market in
PCI based Suns and had them working okay? Has anyone done this this
with a SCSI card for high-voltage-differential (HVD) ? Someone is
selling some dual Sun HVD cards on eBay but they are fetching around
$300, whereas there are some Adaptec ones for PCs for not much more
than 10% of that price. I don't think normal (LVD) Adaptec cards work
in Suns, so I doubt the HVD version will, but does anyone know of a
cheap card that does?
