[comp.periphs.scsi] What is this?

jwabik@uc.msc.umn.edu (Jeff Wabik) (11/12/90)

I'm trying to identify some equipment that I picked up as salvage
from a local company..  Does anyone have specifics on:

	Adaptec ACB4000 Adapter
	Micropolis 1304 Hard Disk.

I have the physical dimensions of the 1304, but need to know if
its SCSI or ST506.  What about the ACB4000?  SCSI?  ST506?

Any info appreciated.  Thanks!

is there a 50 pin connector or a 34 and 20 pin connector on the drive?

	The ACB-4000 is a SCSI to ST-506 controller. You can hook up to
two soft sectored ST-506 drives as one SCSI device. It , in conjunction
with the ACB-4010 hard sectored version, has been superceeded by the
ACB-4000A card.

:	Micropolis 1304 Hard Disk.

	If the 1304 has two card edge connectors on the back (one that
has ten fingers/side and one with seventeen fingers/side), it's an
ST-506 drive. That would be what you would have hooked to the Adaptec to
create a SCSI drive.

:Any info appreciated.  Thanks!
