Here's an interesting comment I picked up the other day.  A third party
peripherals vendor claimed to have put one of the new 1Gbyte SMD drives
from CDC on a 753 controller and plugged it into a SPARCstation.  Sun says
it won't work, but he said it would (is Sun trying to push IPI instead??).
The 753 controller is "splashed" on full sized VME boards, and can be had
in a much smaller version that will fit in the "pizza box".  Comments
anyone??
