SCSI PCMCIA Question

[mikerm]

After many many minutes of Googleing (Googling?), I couldn't figure out the answer.

Has anyone ever used a PCMCIA SCSI adapter OTHER than squirrel or the iomega one?

Would something like Adaptec APA-460 or APA-1460 work? Basically I'm working on providing external SCSI for my 1200.

Any info would be really helpful

Hello there, as may know the Amgia PCMCIA port is only 16bits wide and as such 32bit (card-bus) cards will not work with the Amiga (sadly).

Now even though the Adaptec APA-460 is a 16bit PCMCIA card there are not any drivers available for it in regards to the Amiga. It is unlikely such a bespoke card would work with a generic Amiga driver I am sorry to say.

You could contact Adaptec and query them, you never know

Oh alright, thanks for the info

I guess I will just wait impatiently for another squirrel to show up.

I was looking at those adaptors only yesterday. I wonder if the aic78xx.device would 'see' the adaptor? It's was written for adaptec cards, albeit in the mediator.
