SCSI Controller

Hello.

I have an Ultra 5 with a pretty standard hardware configuration,
running Solaris 8. I could really use a SCSI controller on the
machine, because I use it as a test box, and need to attach an
external storage array. I have come into posession of an old PCI
A4800 Hewlett Packard SCSI controller, but a boot -r doesn't seem to
pick it up right. Here's an excerpt from a prtdiag -v

========================= IO Cards =========================

Bus# Freq
Brd Type MHz Slot Name Model
--- ---- ---- ---- --------------------------------
----------------------
0 PCI-1 33 1 ebus
0 PCI-1 33 1 network-SUNW,hme
0 PCI-1 33 2 SUNW,m64B ATY,GT-B
0 PCI-1 33 3 ide-pci1095,646.1095.646.3
0 PCI-2 33 3 symbios Symbios 8751D

Anyone have any ideas on whether this will work or not?

The problem will most likely be with the version of SOLARIS not having
support for the card. IIRC SOLARIS just supports some Adaptec and
Symbios cards. The info is out there somewhere as I've found it before.
HTH,
