Good question. The scsi board came out of a 3/160 that I got for
spare parts (nuked cpu ram). It keyed out as a sun3 controller on
the sun hardware faqs, but, I am not really sure. It keyed out as
a 501-1236 Sun 3 SCSI controller. On boot, SunOS sends back a
message that it is accessing xxxx_sc controller, if memory is
correcto today, or something ``sc'' in it. The board itself
has a small pc board about 6 x 9 inches (not multibus) on it as
the actual controller, but it has Sun markings on it rather than
OEM markings. I did not take it to be a multibus board in the
multibus to vme adapter.
I can check for other markings tonight, but that is all I remember
from memory.
Is it perchance a Sun 2 board instead?
