Someone told me that the Xylogics 7053 (Sun calls it SMD-4 ?) can handle
both drives but SunOS might not.  Just wondering if anyone has got any
workarounds on this ?

Also, just wondering if anyone has tried this config before :-

 System backplane
 |
 |<--- Xylogics 451  ---->  892 MB Hitachi dk-815
 |                   |
 |                   ---->  empty
 |
 |<--- Xylogics 7053 ---->  1.2 GB CDC Sabre
                     |
                     ---->  empty
                     |
                     ---->  empty
                     |
                     ---->  empty

I guess that with this config, you can still address the Hitachi as xy0
and the Sabre as xd0, right ?
