Does anybody in the Washington DC area have an HVD SCSI setup
that I could test some drives on before I spend money on a
controller?
Alternatively, does anybody have a PCI HVD SCSI controller
that they would sell cheap (_really_ cheap) or trade for
some vintage stuff?
Thanks,
Bill

Really!??
Which type (i.e. which termination arrangement) are these? Do they go on the
target device or on the controller? Are they wide or narrow?

Was there a narrow differential standard for SCSI? I've never seen narrow
differential.

The one's I have plug to the 50 connector narrow bus ribbon cable and output a
HVD 50 connector bus ribbon...
It takes a standard hard disk power cable for the voltage for the
driver chips.
Price was about $20/30 from a surplus house. I've seen them
anywhere from $20 or so up over $500 for the fancy external one.

If you could mention the manufacturer... The places
I looked (referenced in the scsi faq) were $500 for
the bare internal version (50 pin) up to $795 for the
external version (68 pin LVD support). That was where
any price was mentioned at all (I figure the other places
were in the "If you to ask..." league).
I would need a 68 to 68 pin converter, LVD not required.

Corporate Systems Center www.corpsys.com occasionally runs specials on diffy
controllers. I really dislike doing business with them, since I've repeatedly
found them to be dishonest, in that they misrepresent what they sell, but they
have occasionally advertised what you're after at prices lower than what you
mentioned (not the $20, though) If you hit the <misc.forsale.computers.storage>
newsgroup you may run onto one. They'll offer them cheaply, but if you beg,
they'll double their prices. The diffy version of the AHA2940 (to test stuff in
the PC) is the AHA-2944 but even when there aren't any bids, the price isn't
lower than for a single-ended 2940. That's usually somewhat over $30.

OK, as a final follow up to this, to my amazement, I just got
a 68 pin HVD to 68 pin SE converter (guaranteed!) on ebay for
$20 plus $5 shipping.

I have a narrow HVD Micropolis disk in my repository. It is a
5,25" FH
critter with 600..700MB.

I would say that there was a standard. Sun made narrow-diff
SBUS cards, I believe Interphase made VME n-d cards.
Some of the first RAID boxes I dealt with were n-d, and
I have seen Seagate Elite 3 drives that were n-d, the ST43400ND.

How much do these usually run on the open market?
