I believe all ACARD "SCSIDE" devices are architected in the same way, or at least in a very similar way: a bi-directional IDE port and a bi-directional SCSI port, both managed by a microprocessor, possibly an 8051 or an ARM, with a throughput capacity of about 40 megabytes/second. The one I am examining at this moment has an ACHIP ARC760-B chip, a WINBOND 512 Kb EEPROM and a number of driver and receiver packages. One wonders how difficult it would be to invert the process and have the IDE port be the host and the SCSI port be the dependent device? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
