Thank you Pete, that was swift and comprehensive! Is
this list on the
web anywhere, or do you just happen to keep schematics to hand?
Neither; it's from a chart I typed into one of my machines years ago. To
be honest, I can't remember where it came from. It may have been gleaned
from assorted sources. Anyway, you just happed to be
lucky that I was
sitting right beside the relevant machine and online to the time.
Both boards have 23061-E2, 23032-E2, 23033-E2 and
23034-E2, and fifth
ROM elsewhere labelled 23018-E2 (soldered, unfortunately).
I'm not sure what 23018-E2 is. Might be a character generator.

New subject: SCSI connectivity
This isn't quite on topic but the info might help those who
need or want to connect SCSI items to older PC's. A few weeks back I
picked up a used Philips Omniwriter 26 CDRW to replace my flakey
Philips CDD2000. With it came quite an interesting looking cable
that allowed a standard SCSI peripheral to be connected to a parallel
port and the driver disks for Win 3.1, Win95, NT and 2000. Drivers
are also available for DOS and OS/2 and the cable provides for a
printer pass-thru so that a printer can remain plugged up to it as
well. It's called the 'Shuttle Connection'. It is an OEM item and
actually produced by SCM Microsystems. They do provide drivers for
it on thier website though it looks like it's one of thier older
items that may not be available any longer.
Has anyone used one of these before? Granted the speed is
going to be limited by going through the parallel port, but it's an
easier solution than finding and installing an ISA/EISA/MCA SCSI card
for occasional use of a SCSI CD-ROM or some such item.

Jeff,
I have a similar device made by Trantor. I've been using it with a
Bernoulli 90Mb transportable unit. I've had it for quite a few years so it
doesn't have drivers for W 95 or 98. It does have DOS drivers. I'm not sure
about W 3.1 drivers.

Adaptec bought Trantor and, last time I looked, had the drivers for the Trantor
cards/cable-adapters available on their web site.
