PCI... What, no SCSI??

Jupp3: yeah, I forgot to mention that. You can get big and new harddisks to scsi with that adapter at not much extra cost compared to ide. With all the advantages of the scsi of course.

Actually, if anyone wants one, I'll send you an 18gb SCSI 2 wide drive for the cost of shipping.

I replaced them with Ultra320 drives (which will also work on an SCSI 2 controller).
I think I paid $15 for the 75gb ones I've got (and they're 15K drives - really quick).

BTW - I thought the SCSI drivers were available already. They list specific cards.

Bump this old thread..

Has anyone used a pci SCSI card like the Adaptec AHA2940UW on a mediator board . I would like to build a amiga 1200 tower "again" and want to be able to connect to my external scsi box for backup etc "or more for the fun of it".

If anyone has used it how fast is it?

I have one stashed, but I had to put off investing in an A4000 to finish up some other projects.

I'd really like to see how well this would work (compared to the relatively slow PATA transfers supported by the Amiga).
