I'm a little confused about this too.  Our Sun 3's have Archive 5945C's
in them.  When I shopped around for a replacement, I was told by one of
the distributors that it is an ESDI drive.  I found one from a surplus
source, listed as a SCSI product... but it comes with a separate
"formatter" board, which may be a ESDI-to-SCSI converter.  I could use
a definitive answer too!
