I have this card, its an 8bit SCSI card, one one of the chips it sais: v 3.7n

Anyone familiar with this card and what scsi hard drives will work with it?

Thanks!

It's 8 bit :>
 
If it's an ISA card then I want to move the discussion to the PC specific area of the forum. We've got a lot of PC specific threads winding up here ..
 
Sorry for necroposting, ASC-88 4.0N BIOS is in the collecton now:
http://minuszerodegrees.net/rom/rom.htm

P.S. Does anyone have a ASC-88 utils ?
Code:
     ASC_MODE.EXE  - utility for changing various
                     ASC-88 host adapter parameters, eg. Host ID.
                     (see ASC-88 User's Manual)

     SCSITEST.COM  - single screen utility for issuing single SCSI commands
                     and viewing data.  It includes a psuedo logic analyser
                     capability for seeing the current condition of SCSI
                     bus signals.

     SCSI.HLP      - help file for SCSITEST.COM.

     SCSI_MAP.COM  - monitors and displays entire SCSI address matrix showing
                     devices that are present on the bus.  Ideal for locating
                     device IDs.
 
More necroposting! :p

I am working on an emulation of this card (which is pretty much done), see my other posting.

Since we will need to configure the best, I am writing a DOS-based tool (asc_util.exe) to what
ASC_MODE did, and more. It allows one to:

- dump the BIOS that is on their card
- dump the EEPROM that is on their card (we need this done! vital!)
- edit the eeprom settings

The latter one is of course going to be based on guesswork, but given
the minimal amount of info stored, I am not too worried.

The other utilities I actually wrote long ago, based on my ASPI library,
but they would easily be converted to "straight" to-the-card I/O.
