[comp.sys.amiga] SCSI interface for A500

bhh@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu (Barry Hales) (09/21/88)

I recently purchased a Seagate ST251N SCSI hard disk for my Amiga 500.  Now
the search is on for a SCSI interface.  Does anyone out there have a
recommendation?  I am leaning towards the C Ltd.; have heard good things,
but I wanted some input from the net.  Please reply vie Email, and I will
summarize to the net.

My system is as follows:
   A500, A501 mem expansion, external drive (Prodrive), Micron 2 meg mem.
   expansion.  The micron board has its own power supply, in a case with a
   pass-thru.

I need a SCSI interface that comes in a case to be attached to the bus.  I
don't think one is made with a power supply, but if available, that would be
very nice.  Also needed are cables to go from the interface to the drive,
and formatting software.  Do these come with the C Ltd.?

On another note, I am curious if the power supply to the micron board also
feeds power to the bus.  If not, what are the power requirements of a SCSI
interface, and will my system die if I stick one on?  The power question
really has me hanging, and I am unsure what direction to take....

Thanks for your help!
