All SCSI devices conforming to the standards are backward-compatible. Thus
you can use Ultra160 HDD with SCSI-2 F/W controller or connect a SCSI-2
device to Ultra2 controller, etc. The transfer speed in the lowest
supported by both controller and device.
I am running different combinations and had no serious problems. The main
problem with components of different generations are cables and/or
(connector) convertors.

Subject: SCSI-2 tape drives
I'm trying to set up a portable demo unit for TSM, using a laptop that has
an Adaptec APA-1460A PCMCIA card; the card supports SCSI-2. Does anyone
out
there have any experience with any compatible (and current) tape drive
that'll run of this card?
