Hi!

Ok, let's clarify some things:

1. NetBSD 1.3.2 supports SMD disks on both the
	Xylogics 451 (xy) and the Xylogics 7053 (xd)
2. NetBSD 1.3.2 supports the Sun3 SCSI controller (si)
3. NetBSD 1.3.2 does not support the old Sun2 SCSI controller (sc)

You can identify the Sun3 controller (si) by looking for the
NEC 5380 chip. The Sun2 controller (sc) doesn't have ANY
highly integrated chip.

BTW: I had a lot of troubles with old 60MB tape drives
on NetBSD. The drives worked ok with SunOS. I wasn't
able to install NetBSD 1.2 from tape, neither my
Archive nor my Wangtec drive could load the NetBSD
kernel.
