SCSI replacements (was Re: Data General computer)

Hi Jim! Thanks! Although the SCSI to IDE/SD project is going slowly I did get about 20 PCBs earlier this year. So far we've gotten some builds underway and at least one builder has gotten the board to run Zapple as a debug monitor as a "proof of life". The project is quite a ways and is nearly complete. All it needs is some community involvement to push it to completion. In particular, it needs verification of the IDE, SD, and SCSI interfaces. Then it will need some firmware to handle the conversion. The main advantage of the project is that it is completely open and free. If there is sufficient interest, I will order another batch of PCBs or try to get those builders with incomplete PCBs to swap them out. In my opinion, this project is nearly complete and the shortest path to a working SCSI to IDE/SD converter. All it needs is some TLC and push from the community. As per the usual N8VEM guidelines this board uses all commonly available parts and is designed to be simple to assemble using basic tools. Please help finish this project. I sincerely think it will be valuable for years to come and it would be nice to discuss an actual converter during this frequent topic on CCTALK. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch PS, I recognise the microcontroller/FPGA/CPLD approach is valid but they never seem to get off the drawing board. http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?22906-SCSI-1-to-from… http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?25989-Another-round-… http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=MINI%20SCS…
