Al,
Can you ask the list, or anyone, if anyone has an old Seagate ST01
and/or ST02 controller available? I cant post to the list from
my biz address..

I had some brief experience with the ST01.
It is a SCSI adapter for XT's and AT's, and IIRC it could be fitted with a
boot bios. It could be used for SCSI-1 discs op to 100 MB or so, as there
was a limit on the number of cylinders it could handle.
There was also an ST02, but I've never seen it

I have an SC01, and I had a 3xx MB Seagate on it. The disk had been
originally set up on another machine, on another conroller, though.
The SC02 just has the addition of a floppy controller.
Fred, what do you need the SC01 for?

Hmm... didn't know the SC01 was so limited (the Adaptec 1541A is also
limited, but not _that_ small - it's hundreds of MB)
I rememer the SC01 as one of the early SCSI cards supported under
Linux, back in the pre-1.0-kernel days (c. 1992, so on-topic)

The issue has been resolved, I found one. Thanks Arlen!
And yes, these were horrid cards, slow as hell, DISK-only ISA
bus SCSI cards. But, it was the first I got running after
writing a driver for it under MINIX, and I am working on
re-creating that environment and its drivers.
