I think that they're all SCSI-1.  Sun called their first scsi design scsi-1,
the one usually found on sun-2 boxes scsi-2, and the one common to Sun3
machines scsi-3 (3rd design).  VERY confusing, IMO.  It may be Sun's scsi-2,
conforming to the scsi-1 standard.  ;)

Check out the Sun hardware FAQ:  (Not sure if it tells that... should tell
which boards are stock and the part numbers, at least.  =)  )

Does it have the part-number tag anymore?

Yes and yes.  One way impairs the drive, the other the controller.
