I've heard conflicting stories about connecting Macintosh SCSI disks to
3/50's.  Because of the stories about conflicting pin assignments on the
SCSI port causing disks and/or Sun failures, I've been unwilling to just
try it.

Does anyone out there have first hand knowledge about connecting Macintosh
disks to 3/50's?  The cost of 100 MB disks for Mac's is down to about
$1000, so they would be very attractive if they work on Sun systems.

Thanks in advance.
