In regard to the Amiga-SyQuest interface, What type of SCSII controller do I need and who sells it? Is there a way to use the serial or parallel ports? Thanks, Hector

Hector, I don't know which Amiga you have, but if you have a 2×00, 3000, or 4000, you would have a SCSI controller card to run your drives – up to seven of them from the one card. SCSI cannot run from serial or parallel ports. It has to run from a SCSI controller. By the way, Hector – we have a full name policy on this forum. Please stop at the Forum! prompt, type OPT, select the item for NAME, and type both your first and last names. When you leave options, press P to make the change permanent. Thanks. —Betty

Yes, there are several parallelport SCSI adapters available for the MSDOS machines. If there is one for the Amiga, I haven't come across it, though come to think of it, the machines that don't have slots for a SCSI board would probably need a parallel port adapter, wouldn't they? —Betty

>By the way, Hector – we have a full name policy on this forum. Gee, Betty, ma'am.. does that apply to small furry aliens, too? (btw, Vic tells me you're peeved at me… tell me it's not so! 🙂 Eet

EET!!!!!!!!! Great to see you back. I've missed you terribly, and that's enough to be peeved about. When you went away, so did the evening COs that were always so much fun. And it's a month before I can make the COs even if we tried. Leaving for England on Tuesday. That looks like a vendor number you're wearing, Eet. Is it? —Betty

Hey! It's…. it's HIM! That! Er, it's IT! There it is! <running off to tell wife> –Ben …via AutoPilot

Hey, Bent, was just thinking of you yesterday <grin>; give Anne a hug for me. (btw, I want a cheap interface to hook a VESA compliant SVGA card to an A3000 for total cost per unit under $200 <duck/run> <grin> ) Get AutoPilot, or get lost! Eet
