I am interested in getting either 1) a scsi/sasi interface for a PC or preferably an AT - i.e. something that will let the machine talk to scsi or sasi devices; and/or 2) a SMD interface for PC/AT's. If anyone has pointers or useful information, e.g. price, manufacturers, retail sources, etc. etc. I would appreciate you taking the time to email (or post) the information. Thanks in advance, john ...{watmath, ihnp4, uw-beaver}!ubc-vision!fornax!bby-bc!john

Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc In-Reply-To: <181@bby-bc.UUCP> Organization: University of California, Santa Barbara Cc: Bcc: Adaptec makes a PC-AT SCSI controller card (model AHA-1540). Supports both synch and asynch transfers. $285 (qty. 100) Adaptec Inc. 580 Cottonwood Drive Milpitas, CA 95035 (408)432-8600 I have not tried one of these. In my 80386 AT, I have a PC SCSI contoller card and scsi disk from Quantum Corp. The disk is fast but the card is a little slow since it is only 8bits wide. I have had it for 4 months with no problems. This setup is called the "IQ Kit". Quantum Corp. is also in Milpitas, CA. I have the Q280 (80 MB, 26ms access, SCSI interface) and have been very happy with it. I hope to try the Adaptec card with it soon. Mark Mark D.
