Hi there..
Iam still being busy with my old XT computer..
Iam looking for an scsi harddisk for it because i have already an scsi controller over here.. And its a lot cheaper that building an XTIDE card.. Because its harder to get those parts to weld them on an pcb.. So i need to order those parts on ebay.. And shipping to the netherlands from USA isnt that cheap..
I have to questions.. Some drives they call them Half highed drives (HH)
Is this the same hight as an normal 5.25 inch device??
And second question. I never havent worked with scsi before.
1. I know i need an boot rom to boot from harddisk.
2. I need an 50-pin cable (thats support Scsi 1 en 2)
3. The controller card needs to get terminated.. ID select always 0..
Question: Do the harddisk get terminated if put it on te end of the cable?
Question: Do i need an seperated terminator if i put the harddisk closer to the ISA controller card (and put the terminator on the end of the cable)
(does the harddisk then work if its not defect)
~ At least it can do black and white~
