Well, that works out great, as we're running an SDLT 320 in the Neo
juke. 

Thanks a ton for the responses, all!

The DL380 uses a 5I embedded controller supporting tape devices, for
example, like LTO II and SDLT 320.
 
For SDLT 600 and LTO III, you'll need a 6I embedded controller which
can be found on later DL 380 and 385 modules.
 
Otherwise, you'll need to buy a PCI-X Ultra-3 SCSI card to drive
anything faster than LTO II or SDLT 320 tape drives

I just asked one of my Windows admins and he says the internal SCSI
controller in a 380 uses one common bus for the internal drives and
the
external connector.  He says our standard is that if we're going to
connect external devices, we add another SCSI controller.
