We're looking to add a scsi drive to a Digital AlphaStation 600 5/266 with
a QLOGIC ISP1020 "FAST WIDE SCSI-2" controller with both 50pin-HD and
68pin-HD connectors.
From what I've found, the newer Ultra Wide and Ultra 160 drives are
backwards compatible with Fast Wide... true?
but got the following warning from Seagate:
> > DEC Alpha systems are highly proprietary and require drives with a non
> > standard protocol. Seagate does not manufacture these drives. Seagate
> > drives can be modified to run in a DEC ssystem by authorized third party
> > suppliers.
Are off the shelf scsi drives compatible or should we be looking for
something specific?
How about a Seagate Barracuda 36ES - 36.9 Gb Ultra 160 Wide SCSI 7200 RPM,
68 pin, $415
or a Seagate Barracuda 36ES - 18.4Gb Ultra Wide SCSI 7200 RPM, 68 pin, $231
Thanks!
