Has anyone tried the DataFlyer SCSI+ adapter yet? (It's the SCSI adapter that plugs in to the IDE header and gives you access to 5 SCSI peripherals.) Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Virus Scan: MS-Windows Detected. Delete (y/Y)?

I tried it and love it! 🙂 Surprisingly, the SCSI+ driver sped up my IDE drive too, go figure… Is there anything in particular that you want to know about it? Bob Comer — Hakuna Matata! Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A.

My dealer has one in his 1200 and it sped up his IDE drive, too. I ordered one, but it has not yet arrived. Something about a last minute PAL change or something which is delaying shipments. David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407

How transparent is it, and what devices do you have on it? Just for S&G, what kind of transfer rate are you getting? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Virus Scan: MS-Windows Detected. Delete (y/Y)?

I just have two hard drives hanging off it now (one 290M Maxtor, and one 52M Quantum.) I plan to put a CDRom in eventually, as well as a removable drive of some kind. (I'm leaning towards a MO, if I get get one used! 🙂 The Seagate internal IDE went from 200K to 800K/s+. The Maxtor get's about 750K/s, and the Quantum about 700K/s. Bob Comer — Hakuna Matata!

Good deal… thanks for the info. I want it primarily for a CD-Rom and a tape back up. Does it have a "splitter" that allows me to plug my IDE internal back in after the SCSI+ takes up the header, or do I need to get one? Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Virus Scan: MS-Windows Detected. Delete (y/Y)?
