nice find!

Never used EISA, but being a lager brand part I wouldn't expect too many problems. I think you have to run an ICU, or configuration program with that bus. Hopefully you know what to do there, or some else should speak up 😀

Ideally with even with old SCSI the adapters can handle disks up to 2 TB, so any limitations are going to be in your operating system.

You should be able to use modern SCSI drives with minimal issues. For drives that have transfer rates faster than 40mbps, the next step is 80mbps and also what is called LVD technology. This adapter isn't going to have any of that, so check to see if there is a jumper to disable it (if needed) on the disk before plugging it up. I also prefer to set SCSI ID's manually with the jumpers on each device, instead if letting it SCAM ( = auto configure, if it is supported). Make sure not to cross ID's, and note that the controller uses one for it's self. Finally, make sure you have a terminator at the end of the cable and all should be well.

I think it can be a good SCSI adapter as long as you can find the right Eisa config files for it so you can set it up on your board.
I prefer SCSI adapters with built in floppy controllers though so you save an ISA/Eisa slot

Well see, I'll try to contact some of our customer support or research, as they call themselves 🤣 , if they could point me to some useful direction.

No need with the almighty everex 18210 😀, Floppy included. For this machine sufficient.
