OMFG... 68k 19 posts Nov 23, 2013 — Nov 26, 2013
Just reconquested something that I thought I'd given away a few years ago. Found an XEBEC Systems Apple Host Adapter stuck between the wall and the upper drawer of my filing cabinet. Still in the anti-static bag that I'd placed it inside about 7-8 years ago.

wouldn't something like that be pretty useful in a IIgs?

its a SCSI card right?

I think it's SASI

It's SASI. 37-pin header. Normally used with the early 10MB and 20MB Sider drives.

HEY don't you get SASI with me!

*chuckle*

Lucky for you some of the old, old SCSI drives will work on SASI.

That way I can be SASI while looking SCSI... :-p

Did you know that originally SCSI was intended to be pronounced "sexy" but someone called it "scuzzy" and that stuck.

Sorry about that useless fact of the day, but it's Sunday morning and my head hurts!

I have to say I'm glad scuzzy stuck.

It would be real awkward talking about i sexy at work....

You just went there hahahahah :lol:

Hehe, was thinking more like scuzzy, not sexy.

haha I know, I thought you were saying you could look Sassy while being scuzzi haha

Cool. :-) Then we were on the same page.

hey volvo,

do you have the flat cable to 37pin for it ?

or do you have the diagram for that adapter, i got a card and the drive's but no cable...

Fireblade,

Unfortunately, not at this time. A friend of mine made one for me a while ago, but I think I gave it back to him when I lost the card and gave up on the Sider drive that I had at the time. If I can get in touch with him, I will see if he's willing to make another cable (or two).

I have some of the card to 37 pin adapters handy. I can get the pinout off one.

Pretty simple pinout
