Hey #DuckDuckFedi
Ich brauche mal euren Input, werft mir alles zu, was euch einfällt.

Ich habe einen #Nikon #Coolscan III (LS-30) und ein Windows XP. Windows erkennt den Scanner (offizieller Treiber von der "CD", im Device Manager wird der angezeigt, der SCSI Controller wird als Generischer SCSI Controller angezeigt).

Der Scanner funktioniert in #VueScan (Trial) und scant da Bilder korrekt. NikonScan 3.1.2 erkennt den Scanner nicht, zeigt nur, dass er keinen Scanner finden kann.

Hat irgendwer eine Idee was ich probieren könnte? SCSI ID ist 6. Bringt VueScan seine eigenen Treiber mit?

Finally, the #MiSCUSI is released!
https://codeberg.org/hkzlab/MiSCUSI_AppleII

For the newcomers, it's a rebuild of the Apple II #SCSI card, made with SMD components.

Tested it on my #Delta Apple //e clone with a #BlueSCSI

Thanks to #PCBWay for sponsoring this,and thanks to @DosFox for testing the PLD dumps on his card!

As usual, if you like my projects and have some credits to spare, you can throw me a few via Ko-Fi. It's not strictly necessary, but all go towards the next projects (instead of using what's left after I have fed and medicated the cat colony I inherited...).

Minified re-implementation of the Apple II SCSI card with SMD components.

Some bodging to rectify my fuckup and...
The MiSCUSI (#Apple2 #SCSI card) works!!!

Which means that I just need some minor rerouting and I can get ready for a rev.1 release. And then for a 53C80 (MUCH easier to obtain) release too!

A4092: A modern successor to the A4091 SCSI-2 controller

The term "A4092" has already come up in connection with the software package for the open-source recreation of Commodore's Fast-SCSI2 controller A4091. Now, this equally open-source, completely redesigned Zorro III SCSI-2 controller for the Amiga 4000 and Amiga 3000 is officially unveiled at the title link with the promise: "Everything you need, nothing you don’t."

amiga-news.de - A4092: A modern successor to the A4091 SCSI-2 controller

Last update for couple of days, checked the software and we seem to be missing most packages. I have now downloaded the most recent software release so let's see if we can upgrade.

Problem with upgrading is, you need a SCSI CD-Rom drive

#cdrom #scsi #software #hpux

Image created, no lost or bad blocks, we have an image we can always recover now

#ddrescue #hpux #scsi

The PCI to SCSi adapter has also arrived and everything is connected together ready to go into the computer.

The drive is a #seagate medalist ST34520N, its 5GB in size.

@wyatt agreed.
It's just that I don't have that many such components around and I'd rather try to get something more compact going to i.e. get a #QuadFlop ¹ or using some #ISA / #PCI - #SCSI controller for archival/data recovery use as #USB to SCSI Adapters are virtually nonexistant²

  • And projects like the #Wee86 / #WeeCee / #PixelX86 are way too restrictive for such purposes.
    • Besides I kinda need a testbench for testing i486SX builds of @OS1337

Turns out its not #IDE, its not even 40 pins, the analyzer uses a 3.5 inch 50-pin #SCSI connector.

Possible options, SCSI to USB converter with the necessary 3.5 inch 50-pin to high density 50 pin adapter. This option probably is not going to work very well.

Alternatively we buy a second hand PCI (not PCIe) SCSI adapter and use that on an old machine to make an image.

For this last solution I have high hopes. Currently looking at an Adaptec AHA-2940 or 2904
