I'm assuming that this is on-topic as the equipment I wish to use this
in is microprocessor controlled (68000) piece of test equipment - the
Fluke 9100 series of microprocessor test fixtures.
What my group of friends (Tech Tools Mail List) are looking for is a
cost effective replacement for the ancient SCSI drives with flash being
an optimum solution, but trying to find the most cost effective solution...
I've only found one solution (Adtron S35FA) on line with a bit of
hunting, but not reading the current magazines I'm probably overlooking
a number of possibilities.
Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks,
John :-#)#

I'm not immediately able to find pricing on the Adtron product, but
IDE-SCSI adaptors - to allow you to connact an (E)IDE hard-drive to a
SCSI bus are readily available. CF flash memory cards "talk EIDE" and
again simple pin-out convertors are readily available - and also very
cheap - or you can make your own.
Stroller.

Wow!!! Great!!!

What is the address of this list? Got interested :oD
Anyone have suggestions?
Do you know how simple SCSI and SCSI-2 is???
Why not a simple microcontroller (AVR!!! AVR!!! connected to a SCSI bus
and to some cheap-serial-memory like SD/MMC cards? It can be done easily and
cheaply, and you would have the advantage of (pseudo?)FAT compatibility. Or
at least device image distribuition thru the net. BASCOM (www.mcselec.com)
has a nice BASIC compiler for AVRs and good examples of SD interfacing.
Maybe worth a look :o)

I have a need to do
some solid state SCSI. I also know AVRs and FAT FS.
Jim, I have no need of that, but I'd love to contribute, although I'm
only versed in basic (bascom) and starting with a bit of C.
But what an interesting project it would be, and very useful for our
fellow collectors.
Of course, this could be extended to ST-506 and like :o)

Sounds like you would be an asset to the group - a few of us are trying
to keep these old timers running to make our lives a bit easier when
fixing old video game PCBs.
That sounds good, however beyond my time or abilities...

I have some experience on that. Fixed arcade machines for a living years
ago, and worked in the biggest arcade operator of my state. Hope I can help
with something :o)
