Hi,
On my quest to find an alternative hard drive setup for a PS/2 55 SX I'm reviving (alongside a 30-286 which I posted about the other day), I've stumbled upon references to a Custom Computer Systems' C1000 card, which should be an MCA to IDE adapter.
Great, right?
However... the Internet is almost blank.
1) Does anyone know if these cards are possible to find at all?
2) Would anyone happen to know if schematics are available so one could build one?
Whilst I'm at it, I've also been looking into going the SCSI route as well. 85F0002 cards seem to be available... has anyone tried that in the 55SX? What puzzles me slightly is the card seems to be 32-bit, but apparently it's supposed to work in 16-bit slots as well. I guess leaving the last part of the connector dangling just disables something-something.
