[rescue] Sun 375-0006 SCSI Controller

[Jerry K]

You can put larger than 9 or 18 Gb drives in the D1000.

At $HOME, aside from a lot of Sparc equipment, I have all attached together:

* Sun Ultra 20M2 (AMD based x86/x64 system)
* Symbios Logic SYM22802 dual channel controller PCI controller taken 
from a Sun E250.  I would have to look to get the Sun part number.
* D1000. This originally came filled with 9 Gb drives, but is now filled 
with 36, 72 & 146 Gb drives.

I originally did have a driver issue, but was easily resolved and no 3rd 
party drivers or anything like that was required.
