FYI, the exact part number is PM3755U2B (U2W PM3755 with dual channel
expansion card and battery backup), here's an example:

3 U2W SCSI chains, comes with 64MB cache (expandable to 256MB with normal
SO-DIMMs).  You do need the drivers (which are not shipped with Solaris).

I suspect but cannot prove that the PM3755F version (aka Millennium Fibre,
supports up to 2 FC loops) will also function with the same driver.  If
anyone has one of them lying around in a closet and wants me to test it
I'll be happy to.

The DPT firmware has some great error messages, btw:
