Re: Xebec controller and SCSI drive

Here is a corrected version to the previous note


Later I bought a seagate ST277N 60MB SCSI drive. I recall it supported ProDOS and CP/M perhaps Dos 3.3 as well. I stll have the drive but it doesn't always spin up.

In order to get the seagate to work on the Xebec controller I definately needed the SLS rom.

I also recall I think I needed to supply the drive geometry and they setup the ROM for me.

It was 15+ years ago and that's all I can recall at the moment .. I was really into SCSI back then ... I even bought and still have the original SCSI spec document.

The SLS ROM code and utilities were written by Rodney Pederson, who also designed the hardware for the CardZ180 Z-System card. I had a hand in the system software for the latter. And, yes, it was many moons ago..

I may have the sources for the SLS ROM and formatter, but I have no idea where they're buried.
