The "native" interface on a M2351A (Eagle) is SMD. This is an older (but still popular) interface using a 60 pin and a 26 pin cable set. Various controllers speak MSCP to the host and SMD to the drive. An ex- ample is the EMULEX QD32. DEC controllers speak MSCP to the host and SDI (Standard Disk Interface) to the drive. If you have such a controller, you will need to acquire an SDI adapter for the drive. Several vendors have such things, but I don't know of any that sell them without drives. Systems Industries comes to mind. Terry Kennedy Operations Manager, Academic Computing terry@spcvxa.bitnet St. Peter's College, US terry@spcvxa.spc.edu (201) 915-9381
