There's one of the same devices, Microscience drive and all, sitting at one
of the local surplus vendors. Unfortunately they don't know anything about
it either. It may respond to only one SCSI address, however, though you can
easily modify that if it's the case.
The one I'm writing about has no external shell, so it's complete except for
the cover, but it's clearly a 31xx series OMTI controller with the Z8 and
2764. I imagine it costs about what the 2764's in the parts drawers cost,
though it's probably a 110 MB drive or so.

Subject: Q.: SMS model OMTI 3100 bridge
I have this old Mac SCSI drive+enclosure, a Dataframe
20 model.
It came with an old Mac 512K that has a 3rd party SCSI card.
I would like to save the data from the drive for archival/historical
purposes, but I am having trouble for several reasons.
In a newer apple laptop, the hd is not recognized at all,
neither by silverlining nor by APS formatter. And I can't
attach the drive to other machines because I don't know how
to set its SCSI ID to something other than 0. The drive houses
an older Microscience drive and a bridge labeled
"SMS MODEL OMTI 3100"; this has, among other things, a Z8
and a 2764. The label on this last IC says "SUPERMAC 3103".
Everything seems to have been manufactured in 1986.
Does anybody know how to set the SCSI id for this bridge?
Will it look like a standard SCSI device to another apple, or
is this a non-standard beast?
