I have a ST-31200N in my FreeBSD machine. I bought it in Feb. of 94
and paid $725.00 for it :-(. I installed FreeBSD 1.1 on it when I
bought it and it has been running continuously since then. It is
currently running the 950322 snap without any trouble. I have found
the ST-31200N to be a solid, reliable drive. I would recomend it to
anyone.

If your controller card was SCSI-2 and the devices were a mixture of
SCSI-1 and SCSI-2, my guess would be that you should be ok. I'm sure
that if I am wrong, I will br corrected. :-)
