I have a few
WD-1000 host adaptors, and I need to get some
information about them. Western Dig. is of not much help-- their web
site dosen't carry docs from that far back.
I used to have a chart delineating what controller card was what, but
I've since lost it. There aren't PeeCee host adaptors; rather they
are the same footprint as a 5.25' floppy drive (actually, one is
bigger).
I'm pretty sure that these aren't host adapters; I think they're
controllers in the traditional SCSI sense. (i.e. you sandwich
them between the SCSI bus and a MFM or ESDI drive.) One is a WD-1000-05, one's a WD-1000-50, and
a WD-1000-TB1. If
anyone has docs for these (or can tell me where to get them) I would
really appreciate it.
The Emulex SCSI controllers (adapting to MFM, SMD, or ESDI drives) are also known by the folks who hang out on the Sun newsgroups
(especially
comp.sys.sun.hardware). They might know something about other brands,
too.
Cool. I'll follow this lead, and see where it takes me.
