I have a bunch of these drives and I use them in my SGI systems.
I've never been able to find a controller that let's me use them in a
PC. If you find one that works, I would appreciate hearing about.
Thanks
Rob

What I was thinking...
Got a box of SCSI drives a while back, and in
there is one that's
apparently 18G, but it's marked "LV-D" which from my
understanding of
things won't work with anything I have here. Can any of you guys
use
this?
Ideal for me would be a trade for something roughly comparable in
size...
Most likely Low Voltage Differential. Many LVD drives can also be run single-ended
(either by autosensing
the connection *or* with a strapping option on the drive).
Without a model number, it's hard to tell.
I don't know why (and can't seem to lay hands on the book I was
using for
reference in this) I assumed that it couldn't be used single-
ended. The
model is IBM DNES-318350 E182115 F, and yeah, it does say "LVD/
SE" on
there. :-0
