Chris - you probably have something quite unique
there. Whilst things calling
themselves SASI interfaces are common in old
8-bitters, this is the first I've
heard of one for the PC...
They're not specific to anything AFAIK. They're not
ISA cards if that's what you were led to believe.
They're the same size as a floppy, or old klunker of a
hard drive (similar to an Ampro Little Board).
The guy who gave them to me supposedly had a drawing
for an interface that would allow *any* computer with
a *parallel* connection to utilize these boards. Kelly
Leavitt (who sailed off the end of the earth
apparently, haven't seen him around) should know a bit
more about these things. I could e-mail Roy Soltoff
about the schematics, but I doubt he held onto them.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
I've just spent the last 8 months working on a personal project that I'm not quite
finished with yet. Nothing to do with classic computers though.
I have a bunch of these boards. They are WD SASI to MF boards. See the WD1002-SHD docs on
bitsavers.
