50 & 68 pin SCSI-2

The RZ29's I have came out of StorageWorks boxes. I'm assuming it's a standard RZ29 in those boxes. I figured though since RZ26L and RZ28 are 50-pin that a RZ29 would be 50 pin also. Big surprise to see it's a 68-pin drive! On the drive it says RZ29B-W... Guess the W means "Wide". Is there just a standard RZ29 that is SCSI-2 50-pin? -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Jerome H.

I normally get my RZ28 drives by opening an RZ28D-VA box. If you can use them, they convert the RZ28 (which is just an ST32550N drive from Seagate) into the 68 pin interface. I can use a few more, so contact me off list if you want to arrange for me to buy some RZ28D-VA boxes which contain the ST32550N drives. Normally, I buy about 10 at a time. They are quite useful to run RT-11 when attached to a host adapter either on a PC (PCI Adaptec AHA-2940AU) or on a real PDP-11 (Qbus CQD 220/TM). Each RZ28 can hold almost 31 RT-11 partitions. Under Ersatz-11 on a PC, each ST32550N drive can have its own device driver under RT-11 EVEN though it is connected to the same SCSI host adapter.
