I recently picked up a Fujitsu M2266SA HDD. This is a
1M SCSI
5 1/2 " drive with a black bezel like the IBM-PC MFM drives and
will fit in the same space. The vendor said it was SCSI-1 but
TheRef says it is SCSI-2 and Fujitsu doesn't say.
I have a heavily modified PC(5150) with an Intel 386 Onboard card
as Allison has on her Leading Edge 8086 (BTW, I have a lead
It's doable, I think...depending upon your availale slots and such.
There were cards from Trantor and Future Domain for SCSI on 8-bit
PC slots...
www.hitechcafe.com -- under controller cards.
ISA 8BIT SCSI-2 H/D ONLY+ $5.00
Item #: TMC850 Manufacturer: FUTURE DOMAIN
ISA 8BIT SCSI H/D ONLY FUTURE DOMAIN $5.00
Item #: TMC850MER Manufacturer: FUTURE DOMAIN
ISA 8BIT SCSI C.C RANCHO TECHNOLOGIES + $15.00
Item #: RT1000B-2 Manufacturer: RANCHO TECHNOLOGIES
The main trick will be finding SCSI drivers for these babies if you
want to use anything beyond bios access on 'em.

daughter card)
However I have no info on whether it would be possible to add a
SCSI card to an IBM-PC. I have an Adaptec 1522A ISA SCSI card
and likely others in my card box. Was there a SCSI card for the
PC ? If so, would this possibly, with this configuration, allow you to
transcend the 5-slot limits of the PC. And of course to have 1 meg
storage for programs. WHEEEEE!!!
Am I in fantasy-land or could I have a system to confound the
leading-edgers, altho it already does that. "NO IT ISN'T POSSIBLE
ON SUCH AN EARLY COMPUTER" . He he he he, chortle.
