[comp.sys.next] adaptec for next

marsella@athos.rutgers.edu (Stacy Marsella) (07/06/90)

Has anyone tried using the various adaptec SCSI to ST506 boards on the
Next's scsi interface? These come in various models, such as the
4000(a), 4010 (a mac version of the 4000a), and the 4070 (a rll
version). And I just saw an ad mention an adaptec model 5500 scsi to
st506. My question is which ones will work on a Next. I have tried an
adaptec 4000(a?) with no success - the system never recognizes the adaptec.
In effect, it never reports seeing the adaptec on the bus during the
boot. (the adaptec is set for scsi address 0). The Next
side seems fine - it will recognize an emulex scsi tape controller. Any
suggestions or pointers?
