We are using one of those (it is really a Xylogics 450 controller). And although
the documentation doesn't say anything about it, one can connect almost any
SMD compatible disk to it (not just Fujitsu Eagles). One has to reconfigure
the device driver and rebuild the formatting program (xpformat). If you want
to know more about it, just email me. (We are running a Fujitsu M2322 on it
right now.)
