I found this thing in the ancient "Current Hacks" box . . . piccies coming up soon, meanwhile: SCM SwapBox

At any rate, there seems to be a lot more information around for these things than was the case 11 or 12 years ago, thanks to the Linux gang.

Best Description I've found, at least I think this is what I have:

Interesting little adapter, 3.5" form factor and it appears to run off termination power . . .

Unless SCM snuck power onto some of the alternate ground lines, I've used dirty tricks like that . . . [}:)] ]'>

Question: does 2-Channel SCSI mean two independent buses/controllers like I think it does? Dunno, doesn't sound very promising read that way.

If that's the case, is there any way to get this to work on a standard Mac SCSI Bus or an a Fast SCSI II Card using two IDs or on a JackHammer's Fast/Wide SCSI Bus?

Might I need to put two identical SCSI Cards into a system to make this work? That'd really suck eggs! :p

The controller seems very well documented: VADEM VG-469
