I have an Adaptec ACB-4000 SCSI -> ST206 bridge card connected
to an NEC 40MB hard disk. This combination has been tested on
an Atari ST and works just fine. I have not been able, however,
to get it to work either with the mac SE or the Apple //gs with
Apple's SCSI card. Note that the drive is unformatted currently,
but even the low-level formatter(s) don't work on the gs. The
only thing I tried on the mac was an Everex disk manager program
that claimed the setup was an "unknown disk type."
(flame on)
Do I have to go out and buy an Atari to get this combination
to function properly? Why does Apple call it SCSI if it doesn't
work with SCSI equipment???
(flame off)
In the meantime, I've managed to pop one of the chips on my Apple
SCSI controller (the drive/bridge wasn't connected at the time)
trying to get this setup to work, so I now I need to buy a new
SCSI card as well. Any recommendations?
This just HAS to work... It's giving me too much positive feedback
for it NOT to work (but just enough negative feedback to keep it
from working. Sigh).
Please reply by mail, my news feeds are finicky.
