summary Jeff. I cant see anything you got wrong, but might
clarify that there are two terms in the naming of these boards and
others that need to be mentioned.
the W stands for Wide, or 16 bit, or 68 pin connectors. It is true
that you can have W with SCA type 80 pin connectors as well.
the U stands for Ultra Scsi which is the 40 mb/sec or greater.
It claimed that the U2W board also supported LVD
I have a 2944UW. I have to use that for my DLT drives because they are
low-voltage-differential. I believe that the 2940U or W or UW or U2W (never
seen one of those) were also made in a 2944 version for LVD devices.
I have 2944 in the next slot over from a 2940UW because my other drives are
conventional interface and I use both on the same box at various times.
