Has anyone using one of these cards made use of
the SCSI function?? It
has a Centronics 50 connector, which isn't terribly useful unless
you've got the right cable, but if you're building an all-in-one
imaging machine, it might be handy to have SCSI capability as well.
It seems the driver hasn't been in Linux for quite a few versions.
Not sure about the BSDs.
A few SCSI floppy drives existed, but they were never very common.
Only SCSI floppy that I remember having was a "Floptical" (20MB), that
also handled 1.4M
Or, are you suggesting putting together an imaging machine that also
handles HDD, CD-ROM, some tape cartridges, etc.?
