I would appreciate some help from anyone who knows
about the difference between a:
TK50Z-GA and a TK50Z-FA.
My understanding: The -FA was designed to work only with a VAXStation 2000
(the 'Lunchbox' systems), while the -GA was designed to work (in theory)
with any SCSI-based system.
The difference takes the form of a different EPROM on the bridge board in
the box, and the presence of DIP switches to set the SCSI ID in the -GA
version.
I have successfully converted an FA to a GA simply by changing the EPROM.
Should you wish to do so, and you have access to EPROM erasing/programming
equipment, I would be happy to E-attach you the appropriate image file.
