Re: OS4 compatibility list

I'm pretty confused... I waited OS4 to use my spider USB properly as Poseidon doesn't support it anymore but it seems that it's not a good choice...

Moreover I don't see any fastlane support and that's really a shame for someone that doesn't want to mix SCSI2 and SCSI3 peripheral on the same chain...

Fastlane probably won't work as it uses DMA and OS4 uses virtualized memory. Maybe if you put the buffers in chip ram... but I don't think it's possible. It's faster and easier to use the CSPPC UWSCSI controller.


it's not much easier at all!

Get the picture... I have 2 SCSI3 Hard Disks, One SCSI2 DVD-rom, one SCSI2 CD-Rom, One SCSI2 CD-Burner, One SCSI2 Scanner, a SCSI2 Iomgea Zip100 and a SCSI2 Iomega Jaz 2GB.

8 SCSI peripherals!!!

Now if I want to use all of them on My CyberstormPPC SCSI3 controller I have to use a shorter 50pin cable (I already have the 68=>50 pin adapter) not longer that 50cm with 5 or 6 50 pin connectors, or so, as I have a lot of external devices and the SCSI chain can't be longer than 2 meters...

I have to build it but I don't even know where to find 50 pin connectors to crimp :-(
