Hi everyone,

  Does anyone have experience using an Emulex MD21 bridgeboard with an
Adaptec 1522 or 1542 (conrolling a Maxtor 8760E in specific, but all
general usage of the MD21 with Adpatec is also requested).  Experiences
good and bad are accepted.....

Problem is Emulex says that MD21 wont work, MD25 will (and of course the
MD25 is much more expensive).  They say the MD21 will not work becuase
Adaptec does not quite adhere to the SCSI standard.....  Adaptec was
surprised to hear that.......

Adaptec says they have not tested that combination....

So, anyone out there get this to work or not ?

Thanks,

p.s. What are good prices for MD-21 and 25 and what sources are cheapest ?
p.p.s. What is a good price for a 1542 w/o kit ?
