I have a couple of older Alpha Micro systems that use SASI drives. I've found
that early SCSI controllers (typically ISA) will work fine with SASI drives
as long as you don't mix SASI with SCSI drives on the same controller.
A number of early SCSI drives (typically <= 120MB) work with both SASI and
SCSI controllers. Early Maxtor drives seem particularly good at this. I've
found that I can replace busted SASI drives with these "early" SCSI drives
quite successfully in Alpha Micro's.
