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.

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 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.

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.

Can I copy from SCSI to SCSI with DriveCopy?

DriveCopy 4.0 FAQ
Yes. Make sure that you have a SCSI controller that supports Software Interrupt 13. Most SCSI controller cards let the user enable software Interrupt 13 in the BIOS through the card. DriveCopy will then be able to recognize and work with all SCSI drives on the SCSI chain.

scsi - Is it SCSI-II compatible?

SCSI-TV Frequently Asked Questions
It is not a SCSI-II controller, although the controller chip does support some SCSI-II commands for software that can make use of them. However, SCSI-II drives can still be used with the SCSI-TV, although they will not benefit from SCSI-II FAST speeds.

What are correct HS SCSI settings, etc. for a Bernoulli drive?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
One possibility is DMA compatibility. If your memory card is not DMA compatible, then switch 1 on the Apple HS SCSI card should be open (up). Another possibility I guess is a SCSI ID conflict. The Apple HS SCSI card's ID at the factory is set to 7. Here are the Apple HS SCSI card switch combinations: Third, the scsi chain needs termination power to work properly. This is different from termination. Both are required for a properly functioning scsi chain.

Does it matter when I power-ON my SCSI hard disk?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
quot;In order for the Finder to recognize a hard disk, the hard disk must be switched on and up to speed before you start up (or restart) the computer. Switch on the hard disk, wait about 10 seconds for it to come up to speed, and then restart the computer." quot;IMPORTANT: Always turn on any external SCSI devices connected to your Macintosh before turning on the computer itself. Otherwise, your computer cannot recognize the SCSI devices."

What about the SCSI port? What is it for?

StoreVault
The SCSI port is a 68-pin LVD connector to be used with tape drives and tape autoloaders. It is NOT hot-pluggable and devices should always be connected while the StoreVault is powered off or after the port has been disabled using StoreVault Manager. For a list of qualified devices, visit support.storevault.com. External storage arrays will not function on this port, so don't even bother. Data ONTAP StoreVault Edition does not support the native Apple Filing Protocol, also known as AppleShare.

Is there a SCSI version?

Autoclave - Secure Disk Deletion
Not yet, sorry. I have received a contribution of some code which will help with making a SCSI version, but I still need a way for users to speicify which kind of SCSI hardware they're using, as some SCSI drivers don't play well with others. I am working on it, though, and the next version should definitely have SCSI support.

So what exactly is SCSI?

Littlepc.com - FAQ: nema, intrinsically safe, flash drives, ...
SCSI is is a high-speed, intelligent peripheral I/O bus with a device independent protocol. It is an entirely different interface than the more popular IDE. It is more of a system level interface, meaning that it does not only deal with disk drives. It is not a controller, like IDE, but a separate bus that is hooked to the system bus via a host adapter. A single SCSI bus can hold up to eight units, each with a different SCSI ID, ranging from 0 to 7.

What are the SCSI Types?

Littlepc.com - FAQ: nema, intrinsically safe, flash drives, ...
SCSI-1 was standardized by ANSI in 1986. The initial implementation of SCSI (now called SCSI-1) was designed primarily for Narrow (8-bit), single-ended, synchronous or asynchronous disk drives and was very limited relative to today's SCSI. It includes synchronous and asynchronous data transfers at speeds up to 5 Mbytes/sec.

D4. What are SCSI IDs and SCSI terminators?

Hook's VS-880EX Information Pages - FAQs
Multiple SCSI devices can be "chained" together, and each device in the SCSI chain needs to have it's own unique ID. The VS's internal computer is set to SCSI ID #7. Therefore, externally chained SCSI devices can have IDs ranging from 0 to 6. If you connect one or more external SCSI devices to the VS, the last chain in the device must be terminated.

Can SpinRite low-level format my IDE, EIDE, or SCSI drive?

GRC | SpinRite 6.0 FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
No software of any sort can truly low-level format today's modern drives. The ability to low-level format hard drives was lost back in the early 1990's when disc surfaces began incorporating factory written "embedded servo data". If you have a very old drive that can truly be low-level reformatted, SpinRite v5.0 will do that for you (which all v6.0 owners are welcome to download and run anytime).

Can I leave SCSI devices I'm not using OFF when I turn ON my GS?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
If it were not okay, I would have fried plenty of hardware. I do this all the time. I have seen no problems with having some devices off. As I have mentioned, I keep my magneto optical off most of the time; and, my buddy who uses my 700 now has a flatbed scanner and leaves it off most of the time. Both work fine.
