If You look into the May/June 1986 issues of BYTE (that was the time BYTE was still readable), You'll find in Steve Ciarcia's column a two-part article on "Adding SCSI to the SB180 Computer" This gives You a) a fairly good introducation into SCSI b) a hardware description of the SCSI controller on the SB180/SB180FX. The design uses the NCR 53C80 which uses a chip count of 1 (one) plus a couple of terminating resistors, though it calls on the HD64180's on-chip-DMA. (I must admit, I own an SB180FX with the SCSI I/F but have not been able to get it running yet 8-( ) Josef Moellers paper mail: e-mail: c/o Nixdorf Computer AG USA: uunet!linus!nixbur!nixpbe!mollers.pad Abt.
