I tried to post this message a couple of days ago. I don't think it made it, so here it goes again... I'm a student working on a design project. I am designing a chip which will allow any SCSI random access device to be used by a SCSI tape drive software driver. I am almost done with the design, but I still need to test it. I am not a software person, so I am not skilled enough (or have enough time) to write my own device driver. All I want to do is be able to issue simple commands (ie TUR, Inquiry, write, etc.) on the SCSI bus, one at a time. This is to see if my design is even moderately correct. The SCSI Development System (SDS3) made by Adaptec or a SCSI BUS anlyzer seems to be the best solution. Unfortunately, on my meager student budget I can't afford any of these solutions. I was wondering if anyone knows of some software or a kit which will allow allow me to test and issue simple commands on the SCSI bus. The software or kit will need to run under MS-DOS(any version), and/or be compatible with an Adaptec 1542b, Future Domaine TMC-885, or SMS(OMTI) 822 SCSI host adapter. Any help would be appreciated. Please e-mail your responses. -James Lim e-mail: jameslim@eniac.seas.upenn.edu phone : 215-387-0531
