[SunRescue] Proper use of VME scsi controllers?????

Yes, the VME si are more troublesome, but of course they offer much
more performance (if you call 1.5mb/sec "performacne" at all).

I found that they behave brave and nice in conjunction with a
Ciprico Rimfire and nothing else. Even an ie1 in their
neighbourhood makes them unreliable. Too bad. One of my si
now works in my 3/110, where no other cards except memory and
CPU disturb the si (3 slot are 3 slot are 3 slot).
Perhaps i should plug my other si into the 3/75...

Two Sun2-SCSI-controllers that work are still better than one
unreliable Sun3-SCSI-controller, period! And offer simillar
performance, because one can distribute the load.
