Hi, i have a megafile 30 and i'm thinking about the possibility to equip it with a newest hard drive and not a rll one, what do you think? might it work?
Cheers,
Alberto.

megafile & scsi disks
Re: megafile & scsi disks
A bit before my time, but AFAIK ,The best chance that I know of is finding a SCSI '1' 50 pin drive, less than 1GB. Thats the oldest kind of SCSI drive. such drives *might* be compatible with your controller/interface.alberto wrote: Fri Sep 01, 2017 10:46 pm Hi, i have a megafile 30 and i'm thinking about the possibility to equip it with a newest hard drive and not a rll one, what do you think? might it work?

Though I would suggest getting , or at least trying to the demo of a modern HD driver https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... ?f=25&t=31
Re: megafile & scsi disks
Well, but wouldn't it be possible to connect a more recent scsi hd by using an adapter?

You could, but I think newer drives wouldn't be supported by the interface.alberto wrote: Sat Sep 02, 2017 12:59 pm Well, but wouldn't it be possible to connect a more recent scsi hd by using an adapter?

On the Megafile 30 you're stuck with RLL/MFM drives. Megafile 44 (SyQuest) can use SCSI drives.
