This "scsi disk" is an Emulex MD21 talking to an ESDI disk. Commit chainsaw surgery on a Sun shoebox and you'll comprehend. Normally, the MD21 extracts the vendor information from the ESDI disk, and reports that in its identify string. - At least, this is the observed behaviour in the only environment I'm forced to use these controllers. The MD21 is _old_ and _crufty_. > Terry Lambert -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
