[rescue] Sun Blade 100 Question - IDE

[Shawn Wallbridge]

I don't know about low cost. We just bought a 7850 (8 drives) and it was
$1400CAN ($800US). But it sure is nice.

That's good to know.  I put off buying one of their cards as
I didn't want to buy a cancelled product.  I prefer SCSI, but
for high-capacity, low-cost, one of these cards with four
160GB IDE drives in a 1+0 configuration wouldn't be bad.
