Actually this isn't even related to anything like the "storageworks"
line -- it is a "digital storage expansion" chassis (BA42A I think).
It's just a pizza-box chassis with a power supply, a tape drive (RZ56 I
think in this case), and space for a 5.25" internal disk.  The external
connectors are DD-50 and the internal cabling is typical un-twisted
ribbon cable (though not the really cheap kind).

I did have it working fine on a Sun-3/260, but I needed the SCSI-ID's
for other disks and had to give it up, not that the few megabytes of
capacity the tape has was much of a loss.....  ;-)

Indeed I doubt the tape drive provides TERMPWR, though I was routing
through it to a second chassis at the time anyway.
