- I have a Maxtor XT-2190 drive that I was planning on using with the Adaptec
- 4070A. Any differences worth noting between this "A" and the Adaptec 4070?
-
- Also, does anyone know where I might find an OMTI 3527 SCSI <-> RLL board.
- I have been told that this is a faster board, but I can't find any sources.
- I know that these things have been out of production for some time, but was
- hoping to find one at a surplus outlet. No luck so far.
-
- Another elusive piece I've been trying to track down is an Emulex MT-02.
- This is a SCSI <-> QIC-36 adapter that I hope to use with a Wangtek 5099EG24
- tape drive (60MB). BTN tape handler supports the Emulex board and I would be
- sooo happy to back up to tapes. Thanks in advance to all responses.
