Bob -

>From your description of your current SMD drive controller, it's probably
an Emulex QD32 or QD33, in which case it ought to handle the newer M2333
and M2382 just fine. I think your first priority should be to figure
out what you've currently got :-).

The SC03 will handle a Fuji Eagle (with a few slight adjustments to take
into account interleaving), but not anything with a faster data rate,
unfortunately.
