That's an RSM 2000.
A controller box with up to 5 trays.
It uses differential scsi to the controller, as well as
from the controller to the array's.
Each
array can be used as a JBOD if you like.
4.3 GB disks were used if I remember correctly.
The RSM was between the SSA10x and the A3500.

Hi,
I've got one of these (below) drive arrays:
http://www.acc.umu.se/images/archive/20020926-RSM2000/DSC02816.t.jpg
I.e. *just* the drive assembly. But, from digging around,
I *think* it is not just a JBOD (like a D1000) but, rather,
requires "something else" in order to make the electrons
do their magic dance.
Of course, I don't *have* that "something else"! :-(
*But*, I would be quite happy using it as *just* a JBOD!
My question(s): the box has what appears to be a HD SCSI connector
on the back of it -- though it doesn't carry the expected SCSI
logo (or any other similar labeling). Is this, in fact, a standard
SCSI i/f? Or, is it some bastard interface intended to talk to
that "other box" and coincidentally using a SCSI-ish connector?
If it is a SCSI i/f, is it HVD, LVD, wide, etc.? (I ask because
I have had all sorts of trouble trying to talk to a D1000).
Thanks for any pointers!
