Currently getting around 900kb/sec R/W
There's some discussion going on right now on the cbm-hackers list
about adapting the firmware for the SCSI2SD to stand in for the MFM
drive and SASI bridge in the CBM D9060 and D9090 drives (SASI isn't
(exactly) SCSI; the CBM "DOS board" doesn't implement parity, ATN, or
have termpwr, and the DOS firmware formats the media to 32-sectors of
256 bytes per track). Solve those issues and D90x0 drives will work
for many years to come.
