I am not aware of a simple adapter to use an FC drive
with an
older machine.
I have seen PCI and Sbus FC adapters. It might be possibly
to cobble something
up with one of those, but not with, say, an Adaptec 1540.
Me neither. I asked more in hope than in expectation!
I guess the VAX will have to make do with a brace of
9GB disks (assuming that a SCA-to-50pin converter
keeps it happy).
The next generation of storage backends seem to be IDE
(both PATA and, lately, SATA - at the cheap end, that is)
so maybe in a few years time I'll get something I can
drop into the Ultra as an upgrade!
