How can I connect a LVD peripheral to an HVD SCSI bus?
• Answer: There are a great number of installed higher-end computers in the workstation to mainframe range that have HVD SCSI ports and in some cases, only HVD SCSI ports available. Now that HVD disk drives are not being manufactured how can these newer LVD disk drives be connected to these HVD ports. The key is a SCSI expander that provides LVD to HVD conversion. This device allows any HVD devices to remain connected to the HVD port of the computer and LVD devices to be connected to the LVD port on the Converter. There is the added advantage that you can have up to 25 meters (82 ft) of HVD cabling and up to 12 meters (40 ft) of LVD cabling. The HVD host, of course, limits communication to the LVD devices to that of the HVD interface.
