A device that presents a USB Mass Storage device as a Direct Access device to a SCSI controller.
Why ?
Because there are many vintage computers out there that require a 50-pin SCSI drive to boot from. Such disks are only available second-hand, and it's getting harder and harder to find a working disk.
The price of commercial SCSI converters can be much higher than the vintage computers they are used in. However, these devices are still readily available. See :
Why USB ?
Because USB Mass Storage devices already understand SCSI commands.
Parts Required
- SCSI Terminator. TI UC5601DWPG4
- AT90USB1286
- 50 pin IDC header
- USB socket
- 5V supply via Molex drive connector
- (Check) 3.3v to 5v level converter ?
- TI CD74AC280E/74HC280 Parity checker/generator.
Links
The following projects will be of great help:
- AVR based SCSI RAM disk (Open-source AVR microcontroller SCSI interface)
- LUFA Open-source AVR microcontroller USB stack.
- SCSI parity generator
