Re: IIgs and Xebec scsi card

["David Chiu" <none@nowhere.org>]

What you have is probably a SASI card, not SCSI card. If you can find an
Adaptec 4000A (which has some modification that can be performed to force
emulate SASI) or Xebec 1410A and some MFM drives, you might be able to get
it up running. Given the vintage nature of the card however, it will
probably be easier to acquire an Apple Rev C or DMA SCSI card and use modern
SCSI drives instead.
