I have never heard of problems running the HP off Sparcs.  We (ADS) sell
HPs for Sparcs and haven't had any returned for incompatibility problems.

However, I do have a problem with HPs running off Sun 3/60's.
Specifically: Diskless client Sun 3/60 running 4.1 off Sparstation 1+ 4/65
running 4.1 over Ethernet.  When attempting to access HP 97548S-793, such
as during analyze under format, or running newfs, I get scsi bus timeout
errors and odd bit errors at seemingly random intervals.

Does anyone else have this problem, and is there a fix?  If you need more
details, I can have them tomorrow.
