So, in a recent pile-o-stuff, I acquired this SCSI box. The box itself is a generic two
bay SCSI enclosure, but inside is mounted some kind of bus interface devices. It's a
single circuit board, on a frame that mounts in a half height 5 1/4" bay. The face
has a little two line LCD, and some buttons and lights. The board itself is made by CMD.
Seems to be model CSB-2200/SDS.
The board has what appears to be a SCSI input, and two SCSI outputs. The board contains
three NCR 53C90B SCSI chips. Powering the device up, it announces itself as SCEA/S on the
LCD.
Now, from fiddling with the thing, and looking at what it contains, it *appears* to be
some sort of SCSI-SCSI bridge, communicating with two separate busses, and allowing one
external bus to use them. But I don't know. Searching on the model number have failed
to turn up a manual. Searches for SCEA/S invariably turns up articles about various
lawsuits that Sony Computer Entertainment of America have filed against their customers
for using devices they purchased in ways that Sony doesn't like.
So. Any ideas? I took some pictures:
