Hi.

I'm interested in connecting a SCSI card to a Soekris 4801 or one of 
the new 5501's to manage a tape library.  It would replace the large, 
heavy, and hot server that currently manages it.

The question is:

Is anyone else using a Soekris board with a SCSI card?
What sizes of SCSI card will fit into the standard Soekris case?
Does the keying on the PCI slot of the 4801 and 5501 fit 'Universal' 
PCI cards with 3.3v AND 5.5v keying?
There's mention on the 4801 page about 'option for 5V supply using 
internal connector'.  Is that 5v in order to power the Soekris, or in 
order to support PCI 5v cards?

Also, just a recommndation to the Soekris team...  it would be really 
nice to see more pictures of the boards and cases, from all different 
angles, on the website.

Thanks again.

-JD.
