SCSI at AXi UltraSPARC board

HI there i've just aquirred an UltraSPARC AXi board. It's equiped with
an dual SCSI controler onboard (no IDE), and is currently ruuning with
2x4GB drives. Can i use a modern 73GB drives on the AXi ? If not, what is
the upper size limmit for SCSI drives on an AXi?

There is no real size limit. I used 1TB Raid arrays on them. Just take care
of proper cooling.

Yes, you can use any sized SCSI drives on an AXi system. I've put 73G
drives onto them.

FWIW, I've got 5 x 250 GB drives spinning on one.
