During the ongoing clearout, I've found some full-length EISA
controller cards. By the look of it, there are some SCSI 2 host
adaptors - they have high-density 50-pin connectors on their
backplates - and what might be ESDI controllers.
I don't own any EISA machines any more and am not expecting to, so if
nobody wants these, I will send them to recycling.
Free for the cost of postage. Surface post to the USA/Canada/south
America would not be /too/ prohibitive. They're currently in London.
I've never had any interest in anything on the Vintage Computer boards
& I don't think these are worth eBaying, but if anyone wants to
disseminate this offer, please feel free - including my email and
other contact details in the .sig.

Does anyone know if they are likely to work in a DEC 2000 Model 300
(Jensen)?

Absolutely no clue, but I am happy to supply model numbers on my
return home. (I am currently in Paris, flatsitting a listmember's flat
and working on a stand at a Paris Fashion Week tradeshow while writing
about Windows Server 2012. It's all go!)

If you have any EISA caching controllers (SCSI or IDE), video cards, or
maybe a Targa 2000 let me know.

The only caching controllers I remember for the EISA bus were made by
BusTek/BusLogic, Promise Technologies, and Tekram, none of which were full
length cards.
It sounds more like an Adaptec AHA-1740A/1742A/1744 EISA SCSI card. The
174x is an interesting design, but for actual use today, a 1540CP/1542CP
(high density 50-pin connector) or 1540CF/1542CF (50-pin blue-ribbon
connector) might be a better choice since the performance of the 174x EISA
boards was a little lacking. Other options could be the 1540B/1542B or
1540C/1542C ISA boards or the later (and better performing) 274x series
EISA boards.

The Targa 2000 isn't EISA either, nor does it have a 50-pin connector on
the backplate. The Targa+ is closer, as a full-length extended height
16-bit ISA card. It also doesn't have 50-pin connectors, and instead has a
pair of DE-9 connectors on it's backplate for the video cables.
While on the subject, does anyone know where I can find a set of cables
for a Targa+? I picked up one of these last year minus its cables. It was
part of a large box of high end video boards and video capture boards I
bought from someone who was selling off a deceased relative's computer
stuff as "gold scrap". That lot of boards turned out to be one of the best
such lots I've ever bought.

I still have a pile of EISA boards in a bin somewhere.

I have a 247x EISA in a 486DX50 machine running a 68 pin SCSI HD, they are
nice cards to have. My other 486DX50 EISA has a caching IDE card in it, also
very nice. The vast majority of EISA cards are network or SCSI, I only have
a couple EISA video cards and keep looking for a rare Targa 2000 EISA card
(recently snagged the Nubus version which is also hard to find).

You need to look for old AVID video editing cable that used the old Targa
boards, or look for the PDF manual online which shows the wiring for those 9
pin plugs (just get serial port shells and wire then up with video cables).
If you can't find the wiring setup email me in private and I will go dig out
the manual and PDF that section for you.

DPT had at least one EISA caching SCSI RAID controller, but that's a bit
different.

I have one of those, along with a memory add-on piggyback. It was
actually a real dog.

I can't say I've seen that one, however given DPT's awful driver support

Adaptec, LSI, etc.

The first couple have just come to light...
Dell EISA full-length SCSI card. FCC ID E2KDSA
Like one of these:
http://uk.ebid.net/for-sale/fl07-dell-eisa-scsi-controller-fccid-e2kdsa-469…
Two 50-pin IDC SCSI channels, each with its own Symbios 53C710. No
external connector.
Adaptec AHA-2740A S28
BIOS 8D00
FCC ID FGT2742T
No floppy controller. Single internal IDE 50-way and an external HD50 female.
Either or both free for the cost of postage from London, UK.
