- I just checked the SCO hardware compatibility guide and various other drive
- sources and find very little reference to SCSI II or fast SCSI.
-
- Since I presume this technology to be pushing the state of the art in UNIX
- land, I wonder about successful implementations and which combination of
- hardware was used.
-
- If I would like the fastest and meanest I/O combination between disk, tape
- and controller, what does the combined net wisdom recommend for a SCO UNIX
- environment?
-
- The disk should be in the 300-400 MB neighborhood for possible additional
- drives later. The tape should back up the entire disk. The controller probably
- should be a caching controller - all running on an EISA bus.
-
- Further, checking the Seagate catalog, there is no reference to SCSI II, just
- SCSI. Are there really different drives or is it simply in the controller and
- software? Are there special software drivers?
