I'm looking for a SCSI to floppy adapter. I would like to add a 1.44Mb/720Kb 3.5" floppy drive on a machine that only has SCSI. Who makes such an adapter? Got a used one that you want to get rid of ?

The SCSI controller is already mounted on the drive. It comes with a good manual to describe all of its characteristics (timing diagrams, jumper positions, etc). It hasn't given me any problems. However; if you don't have $400 or already have a floppy then consider an OMTI SCSI controller/interface board that handles 5-1/4, 3-1/2, and 8 inch disk drives. Here's the address for the OMTI controllers (they might be out of business): Scientific Micro Systems, INC 339 N.

The controller is based on the SCSI Standard (CCS) and the Mode Sense/Mode Select command page formats of the ANSI SCSI-2 Working Draft Proposal. The controller is called "ADP-20 Flexible Disk Controller" and can be acquired at: NCR Corporation 3718 N. Rock Rd. Wichita, Kansas 67226 (316) 636-8000 Hope it works.

(408) 954-8333 Televideo was running the remnants of SMS as a separate subsidiary for a while, then I think they merged it into the parent company. I'm not sure of the current status of either the company or their products. Everyone I knew there who has any sense has gone elsewhere.

They also make floppy drives with a SCSI controller built-in. This is model FD-335HS or FD335JS. The phone number on the brochure is (213) 726-0303. Good luck!!

The 5400 lets you hook four LUNs as any combination of ST-506 hard disk (2max), QIC-02 tape (1max) or floppy (4max). The design is old enough to for the SCSI implementation to be a bit less than fully there, but at least they do work. :-) $50 each, if you're interested... -- -Bill Seymour billsey@agora ***** American People/Link Amiga Zone Hardware Specialist NES*BILL ***** Bejed, Inc.
