Back in December I kicked off a little project to try out the then-new
Sun PCI Single-channel, single-ended UltraSCSI host adapter, part
number: X5010A, List price: $199, discount category: H.
We were supposed to get one, and try it out on the then-new Ultra-5 that
was replacing Vice-Grips in the Watchmaker Zone.
I never followed through.
It worked.
It required no changes to Athena.
We should support it.
NECX should put it in the catalog of things people can get.
We should update the Supported Athena Configurations page.
I somehow got it into my head that all of the above had been done,
but then discovered that I had trouble finding my records of what and
when. Now I've sorted it out, and officially say:
MIT folks should be offered a SCSI adapter for the Sun at $160 which is
half the cost of our currently offered solution. We should support this.
