Anyout out there have any experience with the Interphase V/SMD 4400 (aka
Phoenix) disk controller yet?
This is the 9U form-factor board that Interphase claims will boot SunOS 3
*or* SunOS 4 on Sun-3's and Sun-4's. Can anyone in sun-spots land verify
that they've acutally done this, particularly with the Hitachi DK815-10's
that Sun is shipping as their gigabyte drives?
The real plan is to outfit some 3/260 servers with multiple disks;
probably one Hitachi and one old Eagle per machine, to start with. Advice
and warnings will be read with interest :-)
I'd also be interested in opinions on Interphase's tech support and
customer service organization, and on any performance measurements
comparing the Interphase Phoenix with the Ciprico Rimfire 3220's in real
day-to-day use.
If you reply to me by mail, I'll collect responses and summarize if I
learn anything interesting.
