Re: SCSI interface to 3573-L2U

571A is good. Thing is though you can't use one on a POWER7 machine as it requires an IOP to drive this tape dive. So the actual difference between this card and the 5702/5712 is little in practice. You also cannot do encryption though you didn't list that as a requirement so you might not care about that.
