>> Talking about SCSI interfaces:
>> Which one is better: HSH or Gouda 1.001? (I can choose
now)
>I think Gouda, its faster and electronically stronger than
the HSH. (I
>broke a HSH after 1/2 year use and using Gouda now for over
2 years)
It is still based on the same controler: I have 3 gouda's, 2
of them heve been broken at least once! (controller
problems). Mari van den Broek has (or had) a HSH with no
problemes at all.
>> What's the story about SCSI terminators?
>Leave terminators on interface and last device in the
chain, the rest no
>terminator!
That is the way it should be!
>> What harddisks can I connect?
>Everything: ZIP, JAZZ, Bernouli, Syquest, CD-ROMs every
capacity harddisk
>with a 50 pin cable or any other with the appropriate
adapter/gender
>changer. No more than 7 devices, including controller. (You
can connect
>tapestreamers, DAT drives, scanners, etc, but there is no
software to use
>them, but they still work)
on MSX it is even possible to connect a second computer to a
scsi-chain.
>> Do I always need a seperate powersupply for a harddisk?
>Only if the drive is relative new or for use in Laptops
(e.g. Quantum LPS
>series)
>I had one of those drives build into a Phillips 8250 with
no problems.
I asume you mean: if the harddisk doesn't need to much
power. But why connect the harddisk inside the computer?
Then your dos2 and scsi controller should be inside too! And
that is not going to be easy.
>> Is DOS2 built in in one of these interfaces?
>In HSH, no. In Gouda, yes in MK, yes but not all of them.
In the Gouda there is no DOS2 present!!!!!!
these are able to use the dos2 build in the computer,
regardless in which sub-slot DOS2 is placed. if you have a
hsh, then dos2 must be in a lower slot then the
hsh-cartridge itself. This also counts for the older
mak/green interfaces. The gouda uses in Turbo-R the build in
dos2, for MSX2 it should do either, but I am not sure (lets
try at the fair)
>> If so, does it give a problem since I already have DOS2
built in my MSX?
>no, one will shut off the other.
the first one will be used (in a lower slot)
>> Any useful answers will probably be put in The Ultimate
MSX FAQ!
Ask and you will get an answer if I can give you one
