You are mixing up marketing, implementation, and "supported". HP decided the older box wasn't worth supporting. I'l hazard a guess the "upgrade" would not generate enough revenue to offset the additional qualification/inventory/support burden. And SCSI implementations are not always compatible because they don't implement all the same features. Delayed spinup and Target-Initiated Syncronous Negotiation are two SCSI disk features that early host controller firmware typically have trouble with. grant
