Hey All,
I the process of replacing old external disk drives on a Sparc5(sol2.6)
connected to a Unity500 (using the old HAL interlink), I've found what
may be a scsi imcompatibility.
The new disk enclosure uses ultra-scsi connections while the HAL box
uses the old DB-50, scsi-1. Without connecting HAL, all works fine, put
HAL back in the scsi chain, either before or after the disk box, the
sparc5 complains about scsi errors and refuses to initiate the boot
process. I've checked the cables, they are fine.

Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time and input,
Dave.
