Emax

Hello,

Has anyone ever used a Xircom "PGSCSI" USB to SCSI Converter? It's advertised as a plug-and-play WIN/MAC device. I just bought the kit. It comes with the 25-pin converter interface for attaching to a screw-mounting computer terminal, a 25-pin coupling for serial scsi linking, standard usb printer-style cable and a cd with all the info and drivers for NT, 95, 98, and Windows 2000. 

I googled and found nothing.

I've been following for a couple of years but never saw the device mentioned. 

My machine is not SCSI-ready yet, but I would be willing to lend it out to some who is and who would like to try it for the group.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Emax 1 doesn't support the SCSI Dump standard, so you can't move banks  
over it.
I don't believe there is software that would make a PC be a SCSI   
"Target", so you can't interchange banks that way that I know of.

BTW- when you are ready to add SCSI to your Emax 1 drop me a line- I  
sell the ICs / kit necessary to make that happen.

Regards,
Ted

He Ted, Dan Luna here,

I have an Emax II that does not have a hard disk.  I do, however, have two jaz drives.  The EII does have a scsi port.  I would love to find out if A. I could retrofit this unit with a hard disk. B. If I can't, what my next option might be. C. If I could get the OS disk (floppy) , and D. if I should just get rid of it and find one with an HD?

Please let me know if you can help.

Dan

I just got my emax2 so I am not the expert on this yet, but from my
understanding-

All Emax 2 have SCSI from the factory, and if you are running the latest OS
(2.14) you should be able to hook up a drive and then set the SCSI ID in the
menu that you will boot from.

Assuming your termination is correct, that should be it.

If I am wrong, somebody please correct me.

Regards,
Ted

Dan,

If you will send me your mailng address, I'll send you the Xircom device.
These, or at least similar, are available on ebay. Once you have tried it,
then offer it back to the group for someone wanting to try another
application. That way we will all benefit.

Thanks,

Bill Sterling
