FWIW --

These HBAs are common on all rx2620 motherboards I have seen (i.e.,
the PKA0 and PKB0 devices). Dual channel A7173A card

The ID string apparently changed between VMS 8.2-1 and VMS 8.3. Not
sure that this should make any difference.

In my configuration, the A7173A card is hooked up to a MSA30 dual-bus
universal SCSI drive rack with COMPAQ/HP drives of various sizes
(18/36/72 GB).  Never had any problems with the HBAs; have had a card
or two in the MSA30 need to be replaced.  Have had these running for
4-5 years with no issues..
