Guys:
This is one of a very small number of SCSI bridge
controllers that can handle 24Mhz ESDI drives.
Does anyone have the docs for this? I need to know
at least what the DIP switches do; I've figured
out the addressing part, but I need to know if the
sectoring can be adjusted, if it needs hard or
soft sectoring, if the SCSI parity can be set, etc.
Any info would be seriously appreciated.
Jeff

Jeff, I append this on the chance that the MD-21 is similar enough to
the MD-23. The line draw didn't take, but I think you can deduce which
description goes with which switch.
