[comp.sys.apple] Apple SCSI card

friedman@topaz.rutgers.edu (Gadi ) (09/26/87)

I was wondering what software came with the Apple SCSI card?  I'd like
to put together my own drive (ST225 + controller + power supply), and
was wondering what brand controller the apple software expects.
I'd also like to know if the problem of using the controller
with interrupts was fixed.

I doubt that any software comes with the SCSI card; why would it?
Apple uses a non-standard SCSI connector (25 pins instead of 50,
as I vaguely recall).  Apart from this, any SCSI device should
work.
A new ROM was developed for the SCSI card that supposedly fixes
all problems.  Perhaps someone can tell you how to identify the
ROM version.

I just purchased an Apple SCSI card, and I'm wondering what the rev level is.
The p/n of the card is 607-0291-A. The ROM says 341-0112B. There are two other
chips with apple labels, they are 341-0415 and 341-0416.

If this is not a Rev. C card (I don't think it is), how do I go about upgrading 
to that level?  I have a large disk drive (non-Apple) and I need a Rev C
version of the card.

Does anyone know what the upgrade policy onthe Apple SCSI card is?  I
got mine about about a year ago, not too long before the new version
came out.

?
the upgrade from rev. B to rev. C is available from the dealer where
the card was purchased at no charge..

The SCSI ROM upgrade should be free from your dealer.  The current
version is Rev. C.

When will revision "D" (supports TAPE drives?) be released and will revision
"C" ROMS be upgraded to "D" 'free or charge' like the pre-C ROM was? Thanks
in advance for any info.....
