Derp! Yea, I can't remember if the 50 pin SCSI to 80 pin SCA adapters I 
tried on mine were HVD or not :-/ I think I have two HVD to 
non-diff scsi boards as well (been meaning to hook one to a 9 track 
drive.)

Then maybe Unicos / IOSV stuff will talk to 3rd party drives?

I do have 6 of the Seagate full height Cray drives. AT some point I will 
extract firmware from one of them for the community.

Mine was kernel panicing when the Unicos OS started to load. But for all I 
know the Unicos versions I have is incompatible with my hardware.
