I have the disk rack from an IBM RT system.  It has 4 Maxtor XT4380 ESDI
disk drives, an Emulex MD-24 ESDI to difirential SCSI converter board and a 
Rancho tech. single ended SCSI converter board.

My Sun 3/140 has a Wren 4 on it now.  When I add the disk rack from the RT
system to the SCSI bus the system just hangs at bsd().  If I keep the
terminators in my Wren 4 and (the RT disks are at the end of the bus) try
it I get a more interesting error:

sd: error 6600A000000000
sd short transfer (this continues 16 times) 16 retries
Device not found

Has anybody gotten one of these suckers to work with a Sun 3?  Can you please
drop me a line and help me get this sucker up and going?  Thanks in 
advance!
