In 04/18/2004 I sold my two ISA 8 bit SCSI based on NCR 53C90/53C90A chips,
both with boot BIOS. My paypal account recorded the model numbers:
Storage Dimensions SDC801
Control Concepts HB-A8

Don't those have 16-bit ISA interfaces? Do they work in 8-bit mode (ie.
if you plug them into an 8-bit slot)? Adaptec 1510 docs from 1991
suggest AT or later...
The Always IN-2000 only supports IRQs above 9 so that clearly won't work
in a PC or XT...

I
didn't have to boot off of a floppy disk just to access the hard
drive... I have a CorelSCSI card at home, but when I plug it in it
doesn't do anything at POST, and I don't have a driver or software to
test the card anyway :-/
I've used Adaptec 1542B/1542C and Always IN-2000 cards. They both
work well and have onboard BIOSes.
