I don't know what controller board Sun used, but most of the ones I am
familiar with predate the SCSI-2 Common Command Set, and a goodly number
were built and shipped while they were still arguing over SCSI-1.  In
the Bad Old Days, it was frequently necessary to identify controllers by
trying various oddball commands and seeing which ones worked, and how --
if you were LUCKY, the controller would respond to INQUIRY in a sensible
fashion...  The problem is that different controllers often implemented
the same command number to mean different things, so your list of experiments
had to be carefully tailored to the exact mix of controllers you expected
to find.

Ah, for the old days when I did things like hooking up multiple ST-506
drives to DataTrashCompactor interfaces...

I've actually got an ancient QIC-11 tape drive and SCSI interface (might
be an OMTI-20, I'll have to look).  Maybe I'll try beating the driver up
until it works.  (Then I can reuse the mountain of DC-300 tapes I have...)
