I never had any trouble with it, and I supported SCSI based Sun stuff
for many years. Perhaps because it was all single vendor?

The slower stuff, up to ultra-wide SCSI, mixed-and-matched without
problems if you used decent cables and active terminators, and checked
carefully for on-board termination on devices before fitting them.
Remember these funny in-line resistor packs?

I ran a Digital/Compaq Alpha server running Tru64 UNIX with 7 disks in
an external "pedestal" and four DLT tape drives attached to another
card. That was the main server for the department for many years.

Things got a bit hinky with U160, not helped by the Adaptec U160
adapters being a pile of ****e. It was disappointing after the 2940UW
card, which Just Worked with about everything. I still have a couple in
the bits box, can't bear to chuck them out.

I still have one in my "graphics / games" machine... only talks to my
scanner(s) these days.
