In Mr.Randy Davis' response to Ed Scheinerman question: >I am interested in purchasing a larger hard disk for my >AT&T 3B2/310. I'd appreciate info about vendors, experience, >etc. Please respond by e-mail to # 3) Add SCSI to your system. (Small Computer Systems Interface) Numbers # one and two may be cheaper (I do not know), but the SCSI interface will # allow more expansion: up to 28 135 MB disks off of one I/O slot. (Yes, # 28 X 135 MB = 3.78 GB!!) I am unsure at the moment of the exact size of # these SCSI drives that are being marketed at the moment, but they are in # the area of 135MB. The SCSI interface will allow the connection of other # devices other than disk drives. You can, for instance, configure it # with a maximum of 24 disks and one 9-track tape drive (of course, you # can put just one disk on it and expand it later...). I have wanted a SCSI port for my AT&T 3B2/300 for a long time!!! A co-worker of mine has one on his IBM AT. He has a Banoolie(sp, sorry) box on his machine. I know I am spelling "Banoolie" wrong, sorry Iomega. This device allows my friend to have "unlimited" disk space... The unit has 2 removable 20MB disks. The disks sell for around $150.00 the drive for around $3,000.00 Is the SCSI port a "PC" SCSI port, ie can I purchase SCSI hardware off the shelf or is a new device driver needed for each. WHERE CAN I GET A SCSI PORT for my 3B2/300???? What is the cost?:-) Thank you, _______ | | James D. Corder |UNIX!| P.O.
