Hey all,
I had a bunch of old computer equipment for a while but ended up getting rid of most of it. I decided to keep my I-lamp and some scsi drives assuming I could get a solution to use ether with a modern machine or the I-lamp. Well I ended up hitting a few snags when I went to find a solution today. The first is my modern rig is a micro atx board and case which doesn't have enough room for another card. The second is I can't seem to find a pcie scsi card or a usb to scsi solution. I even looked to see if I could use a pi as a scsi controller but only came up with a scsi pi emulator. This acts like a drive and not a host. So am I out of luck and have to build a retro machine that can handle scsi? Did I simply miss something in my searches? Thankfully if I am stuck building a new retro machine I'm not completely out of options. I actually found a mystery socket 7 board in my old pile. But the issue is the board is not known. The box it came in is for a Antec MB-5981. But turns out that isn't the board in the box. It looks like a cheaper or older model in the line that uses the VIA Apollo VPX. The MB-5981 used the MVP3 chipset and had an AGP port. Also I have an Athlon MP 2800+ laying around too. But nothing else at this time.
Thanks for whoever replies back
