Good Adaptor prices!
1 messages in this thread
I've been scouting for an economical SCSI adaptor to go with my NEC CDR-84
drive. Today I found what I was looking for. Microsoft lists nine Future
Domain Adaptors that are compatible with their NT CD-ROM and Arrow
Electronics has them all for great prices. Details:
Adaptor Price Bits Other
MCS-600 175 8 microchannel
MCS-700 220 8 microchannel
TMC-845 66 8 older model being phased out
TMC-850 71 8 xt half card
TMC-850M(ER) 71 8 newer model – romless
TMC-860 71? 8 can use higher IRQ lines
TMC-885 142 8
TMC-885M 135 8 newer model
TMC-1660 172 16 no floppies – apple pinout connector
TMC-1670 ??? 16 A/B floppies
TMC-1680 210 16 A/B/C/D floppies, SCSI-2, sync&fast sync
TMC-7000EX 525 32
You'll note there are some on the list that are not on the NT list of
compatible adaptors. Technical support at Future Domain assured me that
ALL are NT compatible. They will all work with the drivers that come with
the Oct NT Beta.
The table is the result of some rough and ready notes I jotted while
talking with FT's tech support (714) 253-0661.
The prices I got from Sandy at Arrow Electronics (800) 521-3430. They will
sell quantities of 1 to the end user public.
