Indeed it is.

I happen to have an SWXRC-05 controller, aka the HSZ-50's little brother
the HSZ-40, in a SWXRA-YY pedestal (which is full of 4.3GB drives).
Mine has a fast/wide HVD differential SCSI port.  I hope to use it with
my AS4000 at some point (with an AHC-2944), though first I have to
figure out how to replace the cache RAM batteries without spending a
fortune on OEM parts.
