Well like I said, I don't know very much about the SCSI-II spec so
wasn't sure whether or not it was 8-bit. So how are they doing the
claimed 10MB/s transfers, through more efficient handshaking?
To everyone to update you on the continuing saga. I found out
through Gold Service today that the 4000 is NOT covered through them
for the motherboard replacement for the Super Buster chip. According
to the Gold Service representative, since the 4000 is not actually
broken, but rather is just incompatible with the 4091, it is not
covered under Gold Service. Makes a lot of sense, eh? To me, the
4000 is broken since it doesn't work with a card designed for the
4000 in the first place. But I guess my logic and CBM's doesn't
match. I tell you, I'm about fed up with CBM and their lousy
attitude. Maybe I should just fry one of the chip's in the 4000.
Then I could probably get a new computer in a couple of days <g>.
So I'm in the process of trying to get a new motherboard through
our local repair center 160 miles away. BTW, he told me that because
of CBM's lack of support, they are just about ready to drop CBM
servicing also. So that's where I'm at right now. How long it will
take the service center to get a motherboard replacement is anyone's
guess, but I would be surprised if it was anytime soon.
