Using a Squirrel SCSI Interface with latest 52x CD-ROM's
« on: April 30, 2003, 03:33:50 PM »
Any reason why a modern 52-speed IDE CD-ROM drive inserted into an external SCSI case wouldn't work with a Squirrel SCSI interface connected to an A1200?

Apologies for my sudden barrage of recent new topics on these forums, but I have just started to get back into the Amiga scene after an absence of nearly eight years, and I am finding these forums to be an excellent place to brush up my knowledge!  :-)

The manual for the Squirrel SCSI claims it will do 3MB/s transfer with a 68030 processor, or 2MB/s with a 68020. But then I've never trusted manufacturers claims!

If my external SCSI case was 68-pin, I assume that I could use a lead to convert it to the Squirrel's 50-Pin, and it would still work?
