[comp.sys.amiga.tech] MicroBotics SCSI woes

hutch@net1.ucsd.edu (Jim Hutchison) (03/14/89)

I recently became the owner of a MicroBotics SCSI module.  What it is
is a NEC SCSI chip and some support.  Where the problem comes in is
talking to the device.  MicroBotics does not include any suggestions
on how to send SCSI commands to the device driver so that you can send
setup commands to the SCSI device on the other end (an OMTI controller).

Does anyone out there have any suggestions?  Is it time to attempt to
disassemble the device driver?

Matt Dillon has done exactly what you want.  It used to be avaialble by
FTP from ucbvax.berekeley.edu, but it's not there any more.  You might
want to send Matt mail and ask about the details, if he hasn't already
seen this discussion thread and helped you already.
