Now I'm curious: what are you dealing with that fails with disks over
1G?
Perhaps a machine with a SCSI interface running in target mode (and
some other disk interface, SCSI or otherwise, to back requests) would
be an appropriate way to address this? I don't know much about
software support for target mode, but it must exist to _some_ extent.
I know some of the ACSI<->SCSI adapters for the atari ST series don't work
with drives > 1gb. Also some of the older CP/M and unix machines
controllers didn't support big drives. There was a SCSI controller for the
tandy 2,12,16 & 6000 but it only supported certain SCSI removable media and
1 or 2 hard drives.
Maybe in ten years, but at the moment, SCSI disks are
plentiful.
That depends. I need SCSI disks that are less than 1GB, those are
much harder to find.
