I'm thinking of buying a SCSI kit for a Blizzard 060 but want to know if it will work with
an Ultra-Wide SCSI-3 Hard disk I already have. I don't
expect SCSI-3 performance but will it work at least
as well as SCSI-2 which I presume the Blizzard kit is? And is this preferable to having a hard disk running from the standard A1200 IDE interface.
Answers on a postcard please...Thanks

The A1200's built in IDE interface runs at PIO 0, it's ####-slow.
You will be able to use your SCSI-3 disk with a blizzard SCSI kit, but you'll need an adaptor to convert it down to SCSI-2 (I think).
Anyhow, I wish you luck trying to find a blizzard SCSI kit for a reasonable price, last offer I was given was £50 from some dude off amibench, so I bought a PowerFlyer Gold for £20. But I'm still looking for a reasonably priced blizzard SCSI kit, so you'll have some competition when looking for one. :-D

oh yeh golem, I noticed you live in Notts. Used to live there myself, there used to be a little backstreet Amiga second hand shop on forest road near the cemetry in town, have a look and stt if it still exists.

Lorddef I know the one you mean. TechExchange - used to be quite good to have a dedicated Amiga shop in the same city you live in. Bought a second
hand 500+ with harddisk there but it closed down
quite a while back now. Thanks for the info. :-D

Yeh, TechExcannge, that was the place. Pitty its shut down, got a few amiga bargains from there (although they all smelled of cigs for some reason) myself.
