How can I tell which Apple SCSI card I have?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
The Apple High Speed SCSI card has a set of Dip Switches on it; the Rev C doesn't, and the ROM chip date is older than 1989, if it shows at all. The Apple SCSI cards older than REV C don't work in my IIe or IIgs...... The Apple High Speed SCSI card has a printed label on one of the chips showing the name "Sandwich II" on it.

How does Zip Drive perform with an Apple HS SCSI card?

Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25
I had many problems when I first started with the Iomega Zip on my GS and it isn't the most reliable thing - But it works. Attach a terminator adapter to the back of the remaining port on your external HD - The Zipdrive has a weak termination and requires another terminator source. Last, if you are working on the GS for a long time and suddenly the Zipdrive Icons don't pop up when you load Finder, simply eject the zipdisk and push it back into the drive.

How do I know if I have a SCSI card?

WP Conversions, Inc.
This may require opening up the PC and identifying what you have. If you have another external SCSI device it will be plugged into a SCSI port at the back of your PC. SCSI devices can be "daisy-chained". You should also check what slots are available (PCI or ISA). Since this involves opening your computer cover, you may wish to contact your technical support person for this.

How do I tell what kind of SCSI cable I need for my sampler or other SCSI device?

SCSIforSamplers.com - New SCSI Hardware for your Sampler
Samplers use three different kinds of SCSI connectors and we carry cables for all three of these different SCSI types. The three connector types used by samplers are: DB25, SCSI-1 Centronics and SCSI-2 HD50. Each of these connector types use a different SCSI plug and this can get very confusing, so we have included a SCSI Cable Chart page that will tell you exactly which cable you need for your sampler and which lengths of the cable we have available.

edit] Can an Apple II connect to a SCSI device?

CSA2 FAQ Complete - A2wiki
SCSI is a protocol (method of transmitting data) that lets you hook up to 8 SCSI devices on a SCSI bus (SCSI devices connected together). There are Hard Drives, tape drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, and more available as SCSI devices. To get SCSI on an Apple II, you need to buy and install a SCSI card. (//cs and IIc Pluss have no native SCSI cards, but Chinook (later bought out by Sequential) made a Smartport capable drive as your only choice for HDs).

SCSI interface? If I do, where can I get one?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
The TWGS-2B GAL was a DMA fix Applied Engineering issued for the board. It is an absolute requirement for Transwarp to work at all with at least some RamFAST SCSI boards (e.g. the revision C boards). With Applied Engineering long since out of business and the GAL virtually impossible to duplicate by convential means, that leaves no good source for replacement GALs.

Why does FreeBSD not recognize my Adaptec SCSI controller card?

Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD 2.X, 3.X and 4.X
The newer AIC789x series Adaptec chips are supported under the CAM SCSI framework which made it's debut in 3.0. Patches against 2.2-STABLE are in ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/cam/. A CAM-enhanced boot floppy is available at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~abial/cam-boot/. In both cases read the README before beginning.

Which SCSI interface card does my scanner have?

Mustek scanners have had many different interface card types and revisions. Some TWAIN driver installations ask you to specify the type of interface card you are using. Mustek now offers a PCI SCSI card for several current model scanners: the P 12000 SP, P 1200 LS, P A3 SP and P 1200 A3 Pro. Customers with P 1200 SP Pro and P PowerPRO scanners may wish to try Adaptec's 2902 PCI SCSI card. Mustek Technical Support cannot provide troubleshooting assistance with this or other third-party cards.

What kind of SCSI interface card do I need?

Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25
There are three 'popular' options: The Apple Revision C, The Apple Hi- Speed, and the RamFAST. The Revision C is older and a bit slower because it does not utilize direct memory access (DMA), a feature that the Hi-Speed and RamFAST have. The Apple cards are no longer made or supported; but, you may be able to buy one at a swap meet. The Sequential Systems RamFAST has DMA plus an on-board cache of either 256kB or 1MB, making it the fastest interface available.

Can I use an Ultra SCSI drive with or without a Card ?

transintl.com upgrade F.A.Q.
Only Ultra SCSI (8 bit) drives can be connected internally or externally. Ultra SCSI 16-bit drives have to be connected via a PCI Card. Ultra SCSI (16 bit) can be used with a card but a performance gap of 40 MB/s exists since Ultra SCSI (16 bit) offers only 40 MB/s (max). Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) is highly recommended if planning to gain maximum performance with a PCI card.

What is SCSI?

Mendax - Frequently Asked Questions
This acronym is pronounced "scuzzy" and stands for Small Computer Systems Interface. There are now three types of interfaces for hard drives, CD-ROM drives, etc. One is SCSI, another is IDE (also called PATA, Paralle ATA) and the newest one which replaced IDE is called SATA (Serial ATA). IDE and SATA are much more common and less expensive. SCSI is more expensive and also more flexible and generally faster.

SCSI stands for Small Computer Systems Interface and is basically a connection standard for all kinds of devices like harddisks, tape drives and CD-ROM's. It uses components that are different from IDE. SCSI had different standards, the biggest differences are the databus width and the maximum transfer speed, the databus can be 8 or 16 bits wide, the transfer speed can go up to as far as 320MB/s. There are many different cables and connectors for different SCSI standards.

What are the settings for the Apple Super Serial Card?

Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25
Jumper Block- configures serial I/O lines. This does not set the operating mode of the card. Operating mode is set via the DIP switches. For typical printer use, label is right side up (arrow points DOWN), DIPs are set for printer operation, and a printer cable is used. This jumper setting can also be used with a modem cable to make a NULL modem connection to another computer. (DIPs would then be set for modem operation.

Is a CMS SCSI interface card adequate for connecting a Zip drive?

Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25
I have had a Zip Drive hooked to a CMS SCSI card (1990 ROM) for 2-3 years in my IIgs without a hitch. Basically you just go into the setup for the CMS card. It will partition the drive into 32 meg sections which you can access two at a time-- It makes three on a Zip disk. Then once GS/OS is booted it tells you that the disk is unreadable and asks if you want it formatted and you hit ok for each virtual drive and there you have it.

Can I connect an Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) drive w/o a Card ?

Only Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) 8 bit drives can be connected. A fairly inexpensive drive can be used if more storage space is the only criteria.

Why is Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) Card so important in Macs and PCs?

transintl.com upgrade F.A.Q.
You cannot have a differential feature, that is 12 meter cable length in PCI based Macintosh or PC’s without a PCI Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD), Low Voltage Differential Card, since Macintosh logic boards and PC mother boards do not support the Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) feature. Earlier, support for differential drives were available only on high end workstations. Now Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) Cards are available for Macs and PCs.

What do the SCSI ID numbers mean?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
SCSI ID numbers identify devices on the SCSI chain. Each device should have its own, unique ID number in the range 0-7. (If two devices on the SCSI chain have the same ID number, there will be a conflict and your system will not function correctly.) Higher numbered devices have higher priority-- get 'looked for' first-- so, it is standard practice to set the device you boot from to 6 or 7.

What is SCSI "termination power"?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
least one device (SCSI card or any SCSI drive) must provide power for the SCSI terminators by feeding 5 volts onto the TERMPWR line on the SCSI bus. Usually, termination power is fed through a diode to prevent backfeeding from a higher voltage source in case some other device is also supplying termination power. A good implementation will have a fuse to protect against shorts and a capacitor to cope with a sudden rise in termination power drain.
