Title: Which of my addon cards needs MTEC SCSI Driver Disk?
Post by: pkupcik on March 17, 2025, 06:43:23 PM
This is comical, but hope you can help. I was going through my very small inventory of A1200 related HW and SW and can't figure out what is the purpose of an orange color floppy disk labeled MTECSCSI. When I launch it in Workbench, its icon says M-Tec Mastercard Installer and it installs MTEC_SCSI-Driver. The disk came with some HW I purchased years ago, but I can't figure out which HW. I only have the following four HW devices added to my Amiga 1200, all purchased new at the time.

1. Typhoon II 1230/40 Accelerator
Purchased via Softhut back in the day, it was advertised as GVP-M product, but the board says it's DCE brand. My version doesn't have the optional SCSI feature; my board is missing SCSI controller chip and SCSI connector header. I can't imagine why the manufacturer would provide a SCSI driver for it. Maybe the driver was distributed with every board regardless whether the optional SCSI feature was on the board?

2. Amigakit CF IDE Adapter
I don't believe SCSI driver is needed for this Adapter?

3. EASY ADF PCMCIA Adapter
For this device I have an original yellow installation disk labeled ADAPCMCFL Boot Disk, HD Install & EasyADF.

4. Indivision AGA MK3
I doubt this needs a SCSI driver.

Thoughts?

Thank you.

Thanks, yeah, while that's a different accelerator than the one I have, it has the same NCR SCSI controller as the optional SCSI controller for my card.
