Years ago I had a SCSI disk that had been used on a VAX 3600 series

the latter. I've never seen anything that would let you run DSSI
disks on a SCSI controller: I'm pretty sure that DSSI disks always
cost more than SCSI disks of similar capacity (DEC disks were never
the cheapest on the block, were they :-)).

I'm sure these will be popular: I have 8x
big heavy drive DSSI drive
units. They have not been powered up for a few years. They have
scsi-->dssi convertor cards in them. They currently have 1GB and 2GB
full height drive units in them. But they can take up to 9GB. I also
have cabling which I have to sort out mainly for SUN and DEC. I have
all the cabling for the dssi drives and a lot of monitor and other
cables for Vaxstation 3100's.
I'm curious about that SCSI->DSSI converter. Is it used to run dssi
disks on a scsi controller or scsi disks on a dssi controller ?
The latter would be interesting.
