The classic-cmp question I have is at what point is a
machine too slow for
SCSI, and how do things degrade as a machine gets slower. My Apple IIgs
doesn't seem to have any problem, but I doubt it can really handle transfers
at even 1/10 the SCSI-1 rate. But I assume there is a point at which things
break if bytes don't move fast enough. Anyone know what that point is? I've
been thinking about sticking an 8 bit SCSI card in my old Epson PC which,
because of brain damaged bus design can only pull 150 kB/s off of its drives.
Think it will work?
Eric,
Would you happen to have the utilities diskette for the Apple
High-Speed SCSI board for the IIGS?
