Are SCA80-IDC50 SCSI adapters with high-byte termination still available anywhere?
Posted by: dankcomputing on 2024-03-08 19:38:09
I have checked all over the net. All that's left are cheapo ones that do not have high byte termination, which means they work with next to no drives.

For that matter I can't seem to find 68-50 adapters with high byte termination either.

I had made a bodge-on PCB that added termination to existing adapters for @Phipli - but I don't think I posted it anywhere public. I might do that.

This is really impressive. I'll be giving it a try. Thank you so much for this!

Anytime!

Ordered a few and so far so good.

Now I'm wondering if there's a similar solution for 68-50. Anyone done a blank one of those?

I could probably draft one out quick when I have some free time - most of the stuff needed already exists in my designs/parts library. What does your 68-50 adapter look like?

I really really need a 68 to 50 pin adapter with high byte termination. In fact I need a few of them.

Can anyone here help?

I've been ridiculously busy lately, but the quickest and easiest way I can help is designing an add-on for existing adapters, as above. Show me what kinda adapter you can buy locally and I'll try to eyeball a termination PCB when I'm free.
