damn.  this looks like my smoking gun - thanks a lot!

now my bind is this - Sun's official list of 'supported' cards for the
J4400 is pretty small, and all very very old.  I don't care about
Sun/Oracle support because these pieces of gear are well out of
support.

What do you suppose are the chances of a newer card that supports 3T
drives working with the J4400.   In theory shouldn't anything work?  I
realise they have an official list of supported cards for their own
support reasons.
