Hi. I need to find a simple SCSI adapter card for a Sun Ultra 5 workstation. I don't need the type w/ ethernet attached (e.g. X1032) as I already have ethernet onboard & they are more spendy.
I know Adaptec is out, but what unit would work? I am attaching an external SCSI tape unit to this workstation.
Thanks advance.
P.S. If you have a used one you are looking to sell, I am interested. Thanx.
There are several on ebay, for example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3059090552&category=20328

the cheapest way will be an SE-SCSI Controller, but it belongs to your tape.... what type of SCSI-BUS does your tape support? with sun supported cards you won't have driver problems.... like this one:
orig sun:
X5010A : Single-Channel Single-Ended Ultra/Wide SCSI (PCI)
have a look, full components list of an u5

I'm kind of a Sun newbie (well, hardware anyway), so not sure which card to find. This card will only be used to connect the tape drive, so maybe SE-SCSI is the route to go.
As to the bus type, I don't know, but the tape drive is as follows:
660 Desktop Backup
Thanks again for all your help.
Am I correct in thinking that Adaptec cards are verboten in this machine? If they aren't, that may be the cheaper/easier route.
Thanks.
