I received the following bundle last week:

   BA356-KC StorageWorks box/shelf
   BA35X-MG 8-bit SCSI interface (dual uDB50's)
   HSD05-AA DSSI/SCSI adapter

Indeed, this is expected to allow me to use some nice SCSI SBBs
from the DSSI bus in the VAX 3400 in the basement. First though,
I've got to scare up a DSSI cable and terminator...

So far as I can tell the HSD05 will not do the RAID tricks that
an HSD10 is capable of. No idea then what an HSD30 can do - maybe
just faster version of HSD10?
