Does anyone currently use an ISA SCSI setup in their current retro setup. The reason I ask is that I've never dealt with SCSI before. I've got a nice Adaptec AHA-1520/22 ISA SCSI card that has fdd support, has an external connector and bootable. It came with my 386dx25 system but the hdd died. Having no replacement SCSI hdds I set the system up for IDE which works stunningly. Now I have two SCSI hdds a 2.1gig ST32155N and 9.1gig ST39216N. Also have a SCSI CDRW which came with a PCI Adaptec AVA-2902E/I card. It'll be nice to have play with and figure out what's needed to set these up. I found Dos SCSI drivers no problems on the Adaptec site but might install NT, OS/2 or Linux. Test system will be a P1 166Mhz mobo with 32megs of ram with two ISA slots. The onboard i/o for fdd/hdd will be disabled.
Thought thread might come in handy to those here who have never had a chance to play with SCSI devices. Thanks in advance and looking forward to your input.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
