-
- I bought it from a shop in Witney, Oxfordshire, which had a large number of
- these boxes without documentation, cables or power supplies (5 to 12 volt AC
- or DC, 20W). I can fish out the address if you want it.
-
- The boxes were originally designed to be used with the Mac Plus, so it's
- standard Mac SCSI (25 pin D connector) and the unit is terminated internally.
-
- It should work with ACSI and a convertor, though I can't guarantee it. It
- works on the TT (well it gets reset and accessed by AHDI) as long as it's
- not been set to a SCSI ID directly after a disk drive and you use AHDI. AHDI
- has a tendancy to crash the box, the ICD utils are ok.
