Used as in had them connected, or used as in brought them online?
The latter? No idea. The former? AlphaServer ES40 on both VMS and Tru64.

Yeah, my mistake there. I confused connectors and specs again.

Hello!
True. But would it work on a Linux system and support an external drive box?
I have a feeling we are chasing zebras without backup here.

If they're not parallel SCSI inside, then what are they?
The ISP1080 (I think you mentioned your board is ISP1080-based) is a
pretty common PCI to SCSI host adapter chip. Nearly all of the required
circuitry is on that chip.
What Gregg was looking for was, I think, something from the Adaptec
AHA2940 family. Different chip, same basic idea, just as common, but
incompatible at the register level.
