Ahh, ok. So "SCSIDISK.EXE" is likely not a driver, just a
single-purpose utility. Too bad, I'd have been tickled to see a 110
(had to look up "Portable Plus" to find that they were the same) with
a big SCSI disk or 9-track tape attached.
I'd be interested in high-resolution photos of
both sides of the board, and
a dump of the firmware.
This could probably be accomplished. Not sure I have the necessary
tools to dump the ROMs (I have only one of those cheap no-name USB
PROMmers from China/eBay.) I could always ship it to you if you're
serious enough about it.
