Re: Adaptec 1522A SCSI Support (was re: New TestFDC Results Registry)

I often have a 1522A in my disk imaging machine. Linux supports it, which means I can use `ddrescue` with it. It'll also talk to a lot of older/slower drives that my 2940UW doesn't like (e.g. very old DEC drives from VAXen, it does better with some old tape drives than the 2940UW). It's slow, but

For that card, no drivers are needed for the hard drives. The on-board ROM is an Int13 wedge. Regarding using any other devices like a ZIP drive, CD or a floptical, not sure if those need drivers. ZIP definitely needed a DOS

I use this card as a floppy/disk controller in a PC/AT that's used solely for imaging. The controller is connected to two Seagate ST-2502N (442MB) hard drives running MS-DOS 6.22. Works like a champ. Cables are readily available on eBay but since they're regular 50-pin IDC connectors, you can

Will, I wasn't aware the CW MK4+ had a legacy floppy controller on it (i.e. ports 3fx, DMA 2, IRQ 6 setup with NEC 765 command set). The CWs that I have (a MK3 and a MK1) are all sui generis devices not supported by off-the-shelf software. In particularly, I don't think they'll work with, say,

New TestFDC Results Registry

I'd been trying to reach Dave Dunfield with new TestFDC results since apparently August with no results. So, I wrote a new TestFDC registry into my site: https://services.theglitchworks.net/ng/testfdc_results This registry currently includes Dave's last registry update from 2007. There's now a
