Recommendations for fixed-disk SCSI Controllers

The Interactive Release Notes for 2.2 says on page 19 that on machines
with SCSI primary adaptors and multipe SCSI fixed disks doing very heavy
disk I/O, the kernel may panic or the system may hang. Has anybody
experienced this problem with Future Domain or Adaptec host adaptors?

Also, I found out that if you want to have a > 40MB tape backup, you can
only go with a SCSI tape drive with Interactive 2.2.

Now, I need a high capacity tape backup unit, but I cant use SCSI unless
I know that the problem mentioned above is not a problem or it has been
fixed.  Is there any other high capacity tape backup unit that ISC supports
which is not SCSI based?

thanks
