Tested Adaptec SCSI2 Interfaces

  • The Clarinet-book SCSI2 connector corresponds to the "High density" designation (50 pins micro-SubD connector).
  • Most of the desktop PC include now PCI slots and the best choice is the PCI-SCSI Master AHA2940 Kit (plug and play installation). Warning: exclusive choice of AHA2940 and not the wide model, AHA2940W.
  • If the PC model has only ISA slots, the SCSI Master AHA1542CF Kit provides ISA connection but  compatibility between ISA slots of the PC and ISA boards depends on PC models.
  • On the PC-notebook, the PCMCIA adapter is the APA1460A or APA1460B Slim SCSI Kit. The kit includes an External High Density SCSI Cable (reference ACK1460/A50HT with APA1460A) to plug to the Clarinet-book High-density-connector.
