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.
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?
Re: megafile & scsi disks
You could, but I think newer drives wouldn't be supported by the interface.

Re: megafile & scsi disks
On the Megafile 30 you're stuck with RLL/MFM drives. Megafile 44 (SyQuest) can use SCSI drives.
