So, . . .
an IBM PC SASI board would let you cable a CBM 90x0 drive to a PC?
THAT seems like a good use.
As long as the PC can handle 256-byte sectors...
Out of interest, how obtainable are the SASI/SCSI <==> ST412 bridge boards
(from the likes of OMTI / Adaptec / Xebec / Emulex)?
I've got a pile I was going to ship over from the UK at some point as spares
(various systems that I have use them) - but if they're still really easy to
get then I guess I won't bother[1] and will just acquire a few within the US
as it'll likely be cheaper.
[1] The Xebec ones at least tended to have vendor-specific ROMs I think, so
I'll have to make sure I have a working copy of the ROMs in my UK-side ones.
