- I have an Imprimis (Seagate) 94161-155 155MB 5 1/4" SCSI drive.
- I have tried the Seagate ST02 with no results with this and another
- SCSI drive. I got the AHA-1522 SCSI Direction Kit and that worked
- great. Now, I want to do the same thing, but cheaper. Can someone
- explain to me what the three <$100 line items I have listed below are
- and if they will work? For example, what is the difference between
- the 1522 and the 1522M. How about the difference between the 1520 and
- 1522? ASW-1210 is the software drivers, right? Those are for Novell,
- OS/2 and Xenix, right? Thanks for the help!!
