Title: FA A1200 with SCSI, RAM etc.
Post by: roadster on May 19, 2007, 06:17:57 PM
 Finally got round to putting my A1200 on ebay...A1200 on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Amiga-A1200-RAM-Module-SCSI-Monitor-and-much-more_W0QQitemZ200111460536QQihZ010QQcategoryZ4193QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

It's a good setup for anybody getting into the AMIGA scene and works very well. I'll put my accelerator on ebay tomorrow..........

Cheers

After delving deeper into the cellar I found a PC PCI SCSI card and SCSI CD ROM drive (internal type) that I used to use to swap the removable drive between Amiga and PC. So that's included in the auction as well.

Just as a matter of interest could I have joined the Amiga and PC together using the SCSI chain so both could have seen to CD and removable drives together???? Or am I talking nonsense.....

I doubt a SCSI chain can have 2 controllers. Theoretically it could be possible I guess as long as the controller IDs are different but I guess it will just crash/burn/explode/otherwise kill you hardware if you would try.

IIRC you could use SCSI to network Amiga and PC (or two Amigas)  or maybe I confused it with floppy.. dunno

SCSI will work fine with 2 controllers on the same chain, as long as they have different IDs.

However, the OSes might not. :) The original Siamese system used to use this method of sharing data, but you had to be really careful that Win 98 didn't trash your Amiga disk every time you booted up. Love that MS software!

did the dataflyer scsi allow fast DMA access or were scsi transfers limited to the IDE speed?
