A short Summary of my own testing has confirmed the following: The D2 array is in fact backward compatible with both SCSI fast/wide and ultra/wide. So this array does infact work on a E4500 Sbus I/O card at 20MB/S or the faster 40MB/S but much more expensive configuration below. Interestingly enough the Sun LVD PCI cards will also work on the Sun PCI I/O cards in a E4500.

Any reason why this will not work? 40Mb/sec should not be a issue for this project.I need to present this option to a customer and have him buy the PCI I/O and SCSI PCI cards in the next day or two, therefore I prefer not to suggest any unessary expense's if it will not work. wayne.wright@treklogic.com _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Jul 20 09:59:03 2004
