Brian, what would be a good choice for a SCSI controller in a DS20E just to drive a DAT drive (VMS 8.3)?

Sorry, confused with Ian's discussion. The flu's set in here, so I'm not
been on top of the game for about a week.

Are you sure? 310-EAs don't function in the DS10L I have.

No, the second one is the one I'm going to 'come across' in the
future :) Sorry to raise your hopes.
Grrrr. ;)
This one came out of an old
sawmill in town a few years ago - I got a phone call saying that they
had heard that there was "some old mainframe crap" getting scrapped
at the sawmill and heard that I was one of those crazy collectors.
!!
WTF? Since when is an Alpha storage array "old", "mainframe", or
"crap"? I hate stupid people. But sometimes their stupidity gets
thinking people good, high-end hardware.
By the time I got there, the drive array and some documentation was
all that was left. It lied around my garage for a year or so, then
spurred me into getting the DS10L to give it something to hook up
to.
Nice. The Alpha it was originally connected to probably went to a
dealer for big bucks.

Do you already have one? Or, are you not interested in multi-path.
I don't have one. I'd like to put a smallish redundant disk array on
my DS10L. Not particularly interested in multi-path at this point, at
least not on that machine.

I think it's "low-end" in everything but CPU. Those boxes are -fast-.
