Hello,
We're interested in connecting some scsi devices (optical disk jukebox
and very high quality color printer) to a DEC 5830. This brings up
several questions:
(1) Does anyone know of a BI-card that talks scsi? (Note: the 5830
doesn't have a Q-bus or Uni-bus.) Any experience with it?
(2) Some people have said that finding a scsi card is only half the
battle because scsi isn't very well defined. Is this true?
Put another way, if I get a scsi compliant card and a scsi compliant
device--are they guaranteed to interface properly? (One would
sure hope so...)
Thanks for any help.
regards,
terry jones
