I am interested in finding out what kinds of ESDI to SCSI controllers 
are available.

I've got a situation where I would like to run several Maxtor XT-8760 ESDI 
drives off a SCSI based DECstation 3100.  Recently in this group I heard 
mention of an Emulex MD21 controller which sounds like it could do what I
need.  Are there other makes and models ?  Can any of them run more 
than 1 ESDI drive ?  Performance is not a major concern, these disks will
be used mostly for archival type storage.  What I need idealy, I guess, 
would be a board that takes 4 ESDI drives and presents them as 1 large SCSI 
unit ( 4 units would be ok ).  

Any information on products, vendors, cost, etc. would be greatly
appreciated.
