    Opops, Synch transfers, not Async ?

    Methinks a PS/2 specific version could be made.

    SCSI parity
    Async Transfers
    Unit Attention
    Termination
    Term Power [yes / no ?]
    Blocks of 512 Bytes [no CD or Tape emulation]

    DIP switch could be changed to them there 2mm headers [annoying, but how often are they changed ?]

    The -467 has a media transfer rate of 2MB/s, buffer to host 5MB/s

    Methinks a PS/2 specific version could be made.

    Will the current version work on an IBM SCSI card anyway?

    Possumble. These are Mac fanboyz and they use non-intel CPUs and non-IBM
    SCSI controllers. -BUT- SCSI is still SCSI. What caught my attention was
    Asynch transfers are mentioned, while Synch are faster.

    I wasn't able to findt documentation
