The AHA-1540A/1542A host adapters are supported in SCO's releases (2.3GT and
UNIX).  You can add up to 3 more hard drives and 3 tape drives if you like.
I don't know about AT&T UNIX and what they support.  The one thing you better
be aware of:  The Seagate drive is a slow drive.  Performance with this
drive will be worse than a good RLL controller and drive.
