I am an application engineer at an AT&T VAR. It is possible to add a SCSI
Host Adapter to your '400 and still keep your ST506 drives. You will not
be able to boot from the SCSI based peripherals. The AT&T SCSI Host Adapter
comes with its drivers and drivers for SCSI-to-ESDI bridge controllers sold
by AT&T. I assume that Reality sends any drivers or config utilities with
its product, or their embedded SCSI drives are compatible with AT&T's.
You might also want to consider upgrading your Unix to the latest Rel (3.2)
for your '400 before installing the SCSI host adapter. I haven't tried
to use a SCSI host adapter with the older Rel. 2 or 2.0.5 and cannot give
you any info on that combo.
Good Luck,
