Thanks, I mis-parsed your original reply and thought you meant it *was* an
RSM2000. Sorry for that.

I've found the Unisys manual now and it seems like there was an internal
RAID controller option (not that Sun ever offered it). And there was a SE
iterface available from Unisys, too. Based on your and Larry's info, I it
seems clear that the Sun version of this had neither of those options, which
makes sense if it was only available as part of the RSM2000.
