Wait a minute, guys. Did this drive come with a bridge board?
I've seen a couple of AT&T units with ESDI drives, with fancy
EMULEX bridges attached thereto. Of course, if yours is an
expansion box, then there would be no controller-- the
emulex bridges could handle two or four drives, depending
on the model.
