- You haven't mentioned what kind of "shoebox" you're talking about.
- I have used Sun embedded-SCSI disks successfully with an Adaptec
- 1542B controller. I doubt you will have any success with older
- shoeboxes using the Adaptec ACB-4000 adapter, and a 50% chance
- that an Emulex MD-21 adapter will work. You can use an Archive 2150S
- tape drive directly (the Sun 150 MB tape unit), but I don't know what
- success you'll have with the Emulex MD-02 QIC-SCSI adapter and 60 MB
- tape drive (like the Archive 5495C).
