I think I've found a deal on an unused 4.3Gb Seagate ST15230N drive to put into my external case but it is SCSI-2. The owner wanted to use it in his SE-30 but it wouldn't work. Will the Lombard be able to read SCSI-2? Thanks
Probably but you'll most likely need some kind of SCSI-2 to SCSI adapter. If
I remember correctly, regular SCSI has, usually, a Centronic 50pins
connector, while SCSI-2 has a 68pins connector, which type I don't know.
However, there are adapters that you can usually find cheap on eBay...
I am fairly sure that the only difference between scsi and scsi-2 is transfer rate. 68 pin is usually wide-scsi, and that would require a 68-50 pin adapter. The SE/30 should have been able to see that scsi-2 drive w/o any issues. I have one internal on my SE/30 and it sees it just fine.
