SCSI on Sun 4/280

[Evan Bauman]

Where did you hear this?  It isn't true.  We just installed a SCSI-3 board
in our 4/280.  It runs both a 1/4" cartridge tape on rst0 and an 8mm
Exabyte on rst1.  Both have been humming along for several weeks now.

The whole package (board plus tape units) came from Artecon.
