- Hi,
-
- Just to add to the overlasting debate about the A3000(T)/A2091 SCSI
- controller chip, Western Digital has an enhanced version of the chip
- capable of supporting FAST SCSI 2.
-
- Check the web page at:
-
- http://www.wdc.com/products/iop/scsi-bus.html
-
- I don't recall this being discussed here and have two questions:
-
- - Can the A3000 hardware (DMAC if I am correct) support the increased
- transfer speed ?
-
- - Would it be possible to modify the SCSI device to support the new
- functions ?
-
- Regards,
-
- Remi.
