Does anyone know of any problems using the SCSI-2 on a SPARC 10 ?  I am getting some
conflicting stories.

1. "No problem mixing fast SCSI-2 and slow SCSI" - Sun rep

2. "Big problem mixing fast SCSI and slow SCSI, you should put all your
slow SCSI devices on the SPARC 10 embedded controller and all the fast SCSI on
a separate differential SCSI controller board (you will have to buy diff SCSI drives also - about $200 more per drive). Sun really messed up with the active termination
on the embedded controller. " - 3rd party drive supplier

3. "No problem mixing fast SCSI and slow SCSI" - another 3rd party drive supplier

Any experience out there ?
