Anyone know the history of the Compaq MSA1000
RAID controller? It
came out right around the time of the DEC acquisition by Compaq, and
survived through the HP merger...
Does anyone know, was it actually designed by DEC engineers, or Compaq?
If I were to guess, I'd say a lot of it came from the Digital side of
things, and quite possibly with some OEM'd parts from Mylex. Mylex was
one of Digital's key suppliers for SCSI and RAID HBAs and was working
on their own fibrechannel HBAs and such around the time the MSA1000
was being designed.
