OK, who wants to stick their neck out and give me a vendor
and a contact phone number (if possible) for Adaptek or any
body else who sells an ST-506-SCSI Adapter. And while
you're at it, how'sabout an idea of how well it works, etc.
if you know.
Much obliged.

I wrote the formatter myself and use a SilverLining Driver. It seems to work fine. Company: Scientific Micro Systems Phone: 408 954 1633 Product: Omti 7200 (SCSI to ST506) Comments: This company went through chapter 11 and I'm not sure this product is still available. It's actually a very fully featured little board (it's available with options to run QIC-02 tapes). It has been used here to run a floppy, and a friend uses it to run an ST506 drive without problems. I'm pretty sure it will do RLL. Eric Woudenberg

In my previous followup I goofed on some facts. The adaptec board for doing RLL encoding is the 4070 (as someone else posted). Also, the OMTI 7200 does ESDI as well as ST506. I don't know if it does RLL. Eric Woudenberg

And while Try Computer Surplus Store 408-434-0377. They offer Adaptec cards in the $100 range. The cards work fine. -cliff -- Cliff Spencer spdcc!cspencer cspencer@spdcc.com
