Non-Sun SCSI disk drives on a Sun 4/110?

I was planning on adding a Maxtor 760 MB SCSI disk to my 4/110. However,
I happened upon some information in the "Hardware READ ME FIRST for the
Sun 4/110 Systems" that floored me. It says:
The Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) connector on the Sun
4100 CPU board installed in your 4/110 system may not adhere
completely to the SCSI specification. Pin 26 on the SCSI connector
may be grounded. Do NOT use non-Sun SCSI disk drives with any Sun
4/110 or any 4100 CPU based system. Use of a SCSI drive not
purchased from Sun may result in the damage or destruction of the
disk drive/s.
Is this for real?? I've given my salesman over a week to try to
confirm/deny this statement and have yet to hear from him. So, I thought
I'd turn to netland for some help on this one. Please tell me it's a
joke (I've actually already ordered the disk :( ).
