Does anyone have the phone number for the SCSI BBS? > Yes, Lenny, I am the "Sysop" for the SCSI BBS. The following is a slightly edited file from my board describing the contents of the board: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCSI BBS This is an electronic bulletin board system provided by NCR Corporation for dissemination of information about SCSI and other I/O interface standards. You may call the SCSI BBS at (316) 636-8700 using a 300, 1200, or 2400 baud modem with 8-bit data, no parity, and one stop bit. There is no fee for using the SCSI BBS except your telephone long distance costs. The SCSI BBS contains: The latest WordStar (tm) files for the SCSI-2 draft standard. The final public domain version of SCSI-1 (Revision 17B) Various electronic format files for the figures in the SCSI-2 draft standard. Some of the X3T9.2 committee documents that are available in electronic format, including the meeting minutes. The X3T9.2 committee document register. The X3T9.2 committee membership list. Information about the SCSI Common Access Method (CAM) Committee, including meeting minutes. The ESDI draft standard WordStar (tm) files. The IPI-2 Disk and IPI-3 Disk draft ISO standard WordStar (tm) files. Many other files containing related information. Numerous messages from callers to the SCSI BBS about the above documents. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this helps, but I'm afraid I will now have another flood of new users on my board :-).

I need help trying to make a Quantum SCSI PRO-80S hard drive work with a Leading Edge Model D2 computer. I have been told that I would need a host adapter ($49.95), cables and mounting brackets (so that this 3.5" drive can fit in a 5.25" mounting hole). Does anyone know of a dealer than can make this drive work? Any info will be appreciated.

[text deleted] Any info will be appreciated. NCR offers (soon to be offered through Prentice Hall Publishing) a small, handy reference guide about SCSI. It gives a basic overview of the interface, its history, and how it functions. No nuts and bolts of implementation, but extremely helpful in the understanding of basics. If you're interested, NCR has a few copies left. When we run out, Prentice Hall will be the place to go to. Send a check for $9.95 (+ 5% tax if you live in Kansas, which is highly unlikely) to: NCR Corporation 3718 North Rock Road Wichita, KS 67220 ATTN: C.J. MOREY C.J.
