FC drive interconnects?

I was staring at a Seagate "fiber channel" drive today and trying to figure out what the most economical method of attaching a few to a box would be. Seagate made a line of STxxxxFC drives with a small D-connector (like a narrow SCA connector) that presumably has power, unit ID lines, and, of course, the drive's part of the FC loop for data in/out. I know there are a number of Sun boxes (3500? 5500?) that have compatible connectors right there in the CPU box - you just drop the drives into bays in the front of the machine and off you go. Presuming you have something older, with PCI or Sbus, say, what options are there for using these drives? I know there are PCI (PCI-X?) FC-AL-over-copper SCSI controllers. What has me puzzled is what the options are for the interconnects - drive bays, external connections (copper vs fiber) for said bays, copper-to-fiber converters, etc. If one wants to hang a wad of drives off of a server, it seems that an 8-drive bay or whatever, with a fiber attachment to an Sbus or PCI fiber card makes sense. If one has, say, a PCI SCSI controller with an FC-over-copper external connector, or just wants to hook up one or two drives, are there any inexpensive interconnect options, like, say, the SCA-to-68-pin adapter boards that are an inexpensive way to use an SCA drives in an non-SCA environment? Of course the answer might just be, "no... the drives are the cheap part of an FC-based storage scheme", but given how cheap FC drives seem to be these days (plus the added bonus of fiber-attached drives being allowed to be a couple of kilometers from your server via single-mode fiber ;-) it seems like an option worth exploring. My direct FC-AL experience is a bit old - I used to run SPARCserver 1000 with three pre-FC-AL disk boxes with 3 drawers each of up to seven 2GB SCA-connector drives. I think one or two members on the list might have one of these. It was nice in its day (10+ years ago), but a lot of juice and a lot of heat for your 42GB (you _might_ have been able to install 4GB drives, but no larger due to firmware limitations in the box). I did get to fiddle with what I think might have been an early proper FC-AL box with a stack of 9GB drives, but I didn't get to play with it long enough to have many details stick in my mind about it. For now, though, my best Sun box just has a couple of 18GB SCA-connector drives. Effective, but boring. Thanks for any info on FC-over-copper interconnects and adapters. -ethan
