There are 8 bit SCSI controllers too. Once I sold two
to one guy for
$10. Both used NCR 53c90, both had ROM and were bootable.
I got a Trantor T-128 with my first CD-ROM drive (NCR CDR-74? - had a
double-shutter caddy)
Don't recall if it was bootable, but it was good for more than just the CD-ROM.
I also doubt it did DMA... which may or may not make it suitable for
the purpose at hand (speeding up disk access).
