** This is the quasi-official and semi-temporary T13 email list server. ** Does anyone know if there is a de facto definition for the use of IDE-to-SCA-2 adapters for hot-swappable IDE HDDs? Whether IDE drives are truly hot-swappable was discussed on this list a few weeks ago. However, the fact remains that devices such as the IFT-6200 shown at http://www.infortrend.com.tw/ contain IDE HDDs (in this case Maxtor 80GB drives), each of which has an IDE-to-SCA-2 adapter to permit hot-swapping. The IFT-6200, while using IDE HDDs, has an external SCSI interface. This interesting fact, though, is independent of my question. The SCA-2 connector definition for SCSI drives is part of SCSI-3, but I know of no document which defines a mapping for the 40 lines on an IDE connector to the 80 lines on an SCA-2 connector. I have received no response from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (at the U.S. office of this Taiwanese company) re: this issue. Thanks. ___________________________________________________________________ Brian A.
