Just to expound on this a bit. SCSI comes in narrow and wide, in
various speed ranges. And single-ended or differential or low-voltage
differential. Many of these are compatible with each other at some
level.
SCSI disks also come with 50-pin, 68-pin, and 80-pin connectors. It's
harder to do cross-compatiblity when the cable doesn't even fit.
I could probably find in my back room a few samples of almost every
combination except differential. So what does this server really
need?
