(pc64-275) SRM v4.8 SCSI controllers

Hi,

I have a question re: SCSI controllers supported by
the SRM console v4.8 on an Alpha PC64-275 Cabriolet:
which SCSI host adapters are supported by this SRM on
this board?

According to the EBSDK docs, the QLogic ISP1020 is
supported, but I require an Ultra-Wide controller
apart from the fact that I cannot seem to locate an
ISP1020.

Is the QLogic QLA1040 (presumably backwards compatible
with the ISP1020) supported?

Moreover, is the _retail_ version of the QLA1040 or
the even the equivalent DEC part KZPBA-CX supported?
The reason why I ask this is because an associate's
SRM firmware would not recognize the retail QLA1040 on
a DPWS500au when his KZPBA-CX broke; the DEC part is
over twice the cost of the retail QLA1040! Obviously
I'd rather purchase the retail QLA1040 if it will work
;-)

I've also tried a Symbios NCR53c875 controller, but it
was not recognized by the SRM firmware either!

For those who've had success with SRM v4.8 on a
Cabriolet, which Ultra-Wide SCSI controllers are you
using?

Thanks in advance!

Rob Parnell
