Sorry to ask something that has probably been covered before, but what is the best way to connect an RLL drive up to a SCSI bus? I know that Adaptec used to make an adaptor - what is the part number, and does anyone else make anything similar? ( if it matters, I'm currently using an OMTI 55?? controller) Doug Kelly kellydk@qucdn.queensu.ca

I have used an Adaptec 4070 in the past to accomplish this. I in fact have a spare one I should sell if anyone is interested.

A couple of the most popular ones... The Adaptec ACB-4070 is an
RLL to SCSI card, 5.25 inch form factor. You'll want to mount in such a
way that you have good shielding between the drive and Adaptec though,
since they're prety succeptable to noise. Another is the OMTI 3527, a
3.5 inch form factor RLL to SCSI card. This one is fairly nice, but can
be zapped fairly easily from static or miswired cables.
