Hello,

we have just traded in a few DN3500's for Sun2 and are now sitting on bunch of
ESDI drives, controllers, Ethernet cards,...

As the Ethernet cards is apparently usable in a PC with ISA bus (since one can
use (nearly, ok.) some sort of PC Ethernet controller in a DN, right? ), is
that also true for the ESDI controller? I was told that ESDI controllers are
rather expensive nowadays and using the Apollo controller cards in some PCs
would be fine thing. Any experiences, someone?

Michael
