It caused some real problems for me 2-3 years ago when we moved a bunch of the remaining U2's to Solaris 8. Of the ones I'm aware of, PTI made at least two different cards, neither will work past 2.6, and Sun made at least two cards, one won't work past 2.6, and one will work with at least Solaris 8. We originally used SE-to-DIFF converters, these might be the way for you to go. That way you can use better supported SE-SCSI controllers, which will work under newer versions of Solaris. We used these for years on some Auspex fileservers. Zane -- | Zane H.
