I'm looking for a board which plugs into a PC and lets me talk SCSI.
Ideally it would have a BIOS driver and whatever other software is
needed to allow me to use a SCSI disk such as the CDC Wren IV under
DOS. Any suggestions? I only know of one, the NCR. I haven't actually
used it, are there any nasty bugs I should watch out for?

Future Domain in Tustin, CA has a wonderful set of products for use with embedded SCSI devices. They have a host adapter card for XTs and ATs which theoretically works with all vendors SCSI controllers. They also have a very nice OEM toolkit which allows you to write your own SCSI drivers. I don't have their number handy, but you should be able to get it from area code 714 information. Herb Lison

Particularly, PC adapters don't seem to like being a SCSI target, just the initator. Caveat Emptor; ask your vendor if your device will work with his controller. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Ed Taychert Phone: USA (716) 381-7870 Entire Inc.
