[cctalk] Re: What was this AT&T SCSI enclosure for?

The 3B1 (ie. UNIX PC) did not do SCSI. That was an MFM system. THe 3B2 lower end models were MFM, and higher end were SCSI based systems, although I don't remember any external SCSI ports on them. There's an AT&T SCSI external shoebox Tape drive listed on eBay now. I'd say its likely that they were done for the 3B2.. http://www.unixwiz.net/3b2/tapedrives.html On Sun, Jun 01, 2025 at 11:18:12AM -0400, Bill Degnan via cctalk wrote: > My guess AT&T had scsi era hardware, not super successful, that they sold > or re-badged to extend the life of their product line.
