Found SCSI drive replacement SSD for TT etc

Postby wongck » Thu Oct 05, 2017 12:34 am

Not that I need one for my TT, just sharing this find.

While Googling, found this that may be of use, especially TT users looking to get a SCSI SSD device. Looks like they do replacement of old SCSI devices including 50 pins SCSI.

They do not have prices on their site, so I suspect it not to be cheap.

There's a better alternative especially for Atari machines, compatible with both ACSI and SCSI: Gigafile by https://shop.inventronik.de/index.php?id_lang=2

There are prices on the site, too.

There is a big chance that it will not work on old TT. For instance 10 GB Quantum Atlas from some 15 years ago works not at all.
Famous Schrodinger's cat hypothetical experiment says that cat is dead or alive until we open box and see condition of poor animal, which deserved better logic. Cat is always in some certain state - regardless from is observer able or not to see what the state is.

Yes you need to get version 5. V6 might not be supported, but V5 is guaranteed.

Because v5 is listed as officially supporting the TT on their wiki. Plus I read somewhere else that v6 has something that breaks TT support.

Oh, I ordered a couple SCSI2SD from Amiga on a Lake, hopefully they'll work on the Mega STe and TT030.

I use v5 on my TT and it works even with Atari Sys V Unix. I would not go with v6 yet, in future yes, but it's little too early for me. I"m using it on some other hardware and having some issues.

The main difference v5 to v6 is speed. V5 board are only 1 MB/s, but TT SCSI bus is only 1.5 MB/s or something like that.
