PCI to SCSI adaptor
- Thread starter yechi2001
- Start date
SCSI is an interface and will require a SCSI PCI card. Adaptec is the most common but there is also LSI, among others.
This is different than ATA(IDE). Drives are 'daisychained' and there are termination requirements. They will not be slaved to the IDE as your post states. One 'ultra' controller will support 15 devices with one being the controller itself. So a maxium of 14 drives.
I would first familiarize yourself with SCSI before attempting this or purchasing any hardware. Check the adaptec site for a primer & or google for setting up SCSI.
