The item is currently located in Italy. Contact me in private for more info, etc.
Note:
(1) ST136475LC has been tested on SGI and it works with IP28 (Indigo2) and IP22 (Indy), which are both "NARROW-SCSI" computers. For operating with "WIDE-SCSI" computers like the IP30 (Octane), the hard drive must be set installed into a "WIDE-SCSI" box and set as "WIDE-SCSI" rather than "NARROW-SCSI". Trying to apply a "high-byte" termination cable doesn't work because when Irix probes SCSI devices on the chan, the Seagate firmware always replies "yes" to the question "are you a wide device ?" without checking if there is a "high-byte" termination plugged, for which it should replies "no", meaning that it's a wide-devive, but the "high-byte" termination forces it as narrow-device. To investigate the problem, I have spent a lot of time debugging with a protocol analyzer. This harddrive has also been tested on HP C3600, installed into a WIDE SCSI box without any problem.
