Cyberstorm MK2 SCSI: What do you need?
« on: January 26, 2006, 08:01:37 PM »
I'm going to get the SCSI module for my CS MK2 because IDE just doesn't cut it for me. Slow file transfer and no audio cd support in ShapeShifter bugs me.

However I'm totally new to SCSI and all the horror sories about termination and different SCSI standards make me nervous.

I want a HD with about 10 Gb and a simple CD-Rom drive (12x speed?).

So what parts do I need besides the SCSI board and the drives? Also where can you get Amiga/CS MK2 SCSI compatible drives? I don't know which ones work and deliver maximum performance with this SCSI solution...

Any help is appreciated!!

I bought an IBM DNES-309170. This has I think a 68 pin connector. So I now need a 50 pin cable and a 50-68 pin convertor? If I use this cd-rom: Panasonic CR-507 as second device, do I still need a terminator? I also don;t know how many pins this drive has...

According to Vesalia (they stock that drive) it has a 50 pin connection and the option of termination.

Now I bought a HD with 68 pins. So I need a 50 pin cable and a 50 to 68 pin convertor, I guess. Where do I get those? Vesalia doesn't have that cable I think. They do have a convertor but I don't know if that's ok with the female/male connection.
