Taken A curiosity - Agfa imagesetter SCSI interface box

[robinsonb5]

Anyone interested in this? It's an interface box that used to sit between an ancient Apple Mac and an Agfa imagesetter. Its job was translating SCSI to something the imagesetter understands.

Does anyone want it to tinker with or harvest the chips? If so, let me know and I'll price up the postage. (It's quite heavy.)

Seems a lot like an external SCSI case plus a translator for the scanner. Too bad the postage would a complete killer to my country.

BTW: which Motorola chip is that square black one? Seems like a 68EC030 but I can't read the code.

Yeah I think it'd cost a fortune to post that far, sadly.

It's a 68340.

So it is a 68020 plus DMA controller to FAST memory. Pity nobody ever used it into an Amiga accelerator.
