- Yes, you can plug it in, but it won't work unless you get some extra
- software. Support for SMD disk drives is NOT standard in SunOS for
- the 600MP.
-
- The Sun Consulting group sells a product which supports 7053 SMD
- controllers and Xylogics 472 tape controllers on 600MP's. Sorry,
- I don't have details on how to contact them or how much it costs.
-
- Our Sun sales rep tells us that 451 and 7053 disk controllers are
- supported in Solaris 2.1, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
