Is the HSZ40C in a StorageWorks brick, or is it built into a tower? The
reason I'm asking is because my HSZ20 is a tower (with dual power
supplies in the back, not SBB bricks), and it has an internal DWZZB....
In other words, the port on the back of the enclosure is SCSI-diff, but
the host port on the controller, as well as the 2 disk channels are
single-ended. I was even contemplating pulling the DWZZB if I hadn't
found a PCI SCSI-diff card.

All,
Now that I inherited a nice set of StorageWorks enclusures with
an HSZ40C controller, I might as well use it, no? I plan on
connecting it to the primary file server of my "fun" network
(also known as VAXlab, aka pdp11.nl) so I'll have more (and safer)
storage there.
Only prob is.. the HSZ40C has a diff-scsi port, whereas the machines
have SE.
Is this easily converted with a cable, or will I be doing resistor-
balancing and/or use a signal converter box?
Thx,
Fred
