#Hard Disk Interfaces
This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.
Does anyone here on CIS know the differences between the various hard disk
interfaces. It seems there are about three common ones. They are SASI, SCSI
and ST412/506. I've managed to acquire a 38MB drive that uses the ST412/506
interface. Unfortunately, the only COMMERCIAL HD controllers available for
the Amiga is SASI(Tecmar) and SCSI(MicroForge).
Drat, isn't that always the way??? Everything but the one I need!!!! Come
to think of it I think that I heard a RUMOR the other day that Micro-Forge
had gone out of business. That means I only have one choice(Tecmar). I've
called them twice but nobody there seems to have any idea what I'm talking
about. I mean, the question is simple. Is SASI and ST412/506 compatible,
and if not is there any way to make them so, with reasonable effort??? Any
help from you HDWE guys will be appreciated.
