SCSI to IDE & 256 Byte Sector OS's

Thanks Wayne! I appreciate all your great support on S2I project. HINT HINT all SASI/SCSI-1 hobbyists! We need some compatibility testing in the worst way possible. HELP! Thanks and have a nice day!

I believe the S2I is able to translate between 256/512 sector sizes.? Maybe Wayne could comment further on the topic. Thanks and have a nice day!

The technique often used is to then "pad out" or skip the second 256 byte block of each sector.?The card would then work with many legacy systems such as: TRS-80, BBC, Atari etc - they all use 256 byte sectors whilst a hardware solution would avoid patching OS's.?Patching is fine, however I much prefer to just "plug & play" so to speak............?Clem-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM" group.
