Free to a good home: One Hewlett Packard C2262A Storage System with seven SCSI drive bays. Two are currently populated by hard drives, one by a caddy-loading CD reader, and one by a tape drive. The faceplate of the CD reader had been held on by masking tape. 💿

@rraggl eben!

• #WindowsXP kann (ohne modifizierte Installationsmedien) weder #SCSI noch #SATA geschweige denn #SAS oder #NVMe-Medien nativ booten und erkennen und verlangt zwingend die #Treiber auf 3,5" #Diskette (!!!)

• Das Problem besteht bis einschließlich #Windows7 fort, samt Unfähigkeit ohne Spezialsoftware von #USB-Speichersticks & -Festplatten wie SSDs zu installieren.

• #Windows8 & #Windows 8.1 hat immerhin #SATA-Triber bekommen und

• Erst ab #Windows10 gab's #NVMe-Support ohne Frickelei.

• Von der Fummelei keinen #MicroShit-Accoint für #Windows11 zu brauchen und zu verhindern dass jenes #Govware-OS konstant alle Dateien in #OneDrive hochlädt noch garnicht angefangen.

Dass fundamentale #Treiber bis heute nicht in #Windows integriert sind und wie in den 1990ern #Treiber händlisch reingeprügelt werden müssen ist auch ein Unding dass es so glücklicherweise nie unter #Linux gab.

• Klar Murks alla #nvidia und einige beschissene Geräte sind immernoch beschissen, aber so #Bloatware wie #GeForceExperience gibt's aus guten Gründen nicht…

Meine Beispiele bei Windows sind noch nichtmals weirde Edge-Cases sondern fundamentale Funktionen…

• #Linux mag zwar in seltensten Fällen auf Konsole crashen, aber es kann von dort wenigstens repariert oder sogar benutzt werden!

Что делать, если нужно одно решение, чтобы править всеми СХД? Выбираем CSI-драйвер: от вендора или универсальный

Команда Deckhouse Storage рассказала о поддерживаемых в наших платформах CSI с использованием реализаций от вендора (для платформ Huawei, HPE, NetApp и Yadro), а также о собственном универсальном CSI-драйвере csi-scsi-generic, который поддерживает интеграцию с любыми системами хранения данных.

Sun Fire & SAS drive replacement - FreeBSD

Had to replace a disk drive in a #SunFire server. Purchased a 12G/s drive and didn't know if it would be working in this old #Sun folk. It did, with negotiated 3G/s speed. I run into problems with Adaptec and low-level format. This is how to solve them.

A fresh composition of my Amiga A4000. You can clearly see that I'm not using this computer in fact the last time it has been fired up, is in the last century.
The oxidation on the outside of the FDD, clearly indicates electrolytic capacitors inside which should not be electrified.

I will need to recap this whole motherboard before I even attempt to turn it on. I'm not planning to do so though

I have an A4000T which just needs another RTG card. The Picasso 96 that I ordered for the last time broke down after 5 years.

If I really want to I can even repair the Picasso 96. The video IC is just a Cyrus logic IIRC

For me AGA is way too slow to work on such a massive machine

Which is the reason for both the A4000T which is in storage and the A4000 to be idle

Below the Amiga you can see a part of a betamax video recorder.

Ah, the timeless art of restoring an Amiga 500—because who wouldn't want to spend hours pimping a decades-old computer? 🤖🛠️ Let’s all pretend that Workbench 1.3 isn’t the pinnacle of human achievement while reminiscing about #SCSI hard drives like they're the Mona Lisa of storage. 😂👏

I accidentally bought a 3.5" scsi floppy drive at a flea market .Only noticed it was SCSI when I looked at it at home.

SCSI discovered the laundry basket was directly beneath the hot air blowing from the heat pump. So much for cat-hair-free clothes this week.

#Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #SCSI #SiameseCat

Thanks everybody for chipping on on the SCSI question. Here is what I've gathered or derived:

The good OSes that supported the DaynaPort Ethernet devices were probably doing a read with a long timeout; the SCSI driver can definitely notify/interrupt when that read is satisfied.

The DOS ASPI layer doesn't support setting the timeout for reads. That function was available in Windows ASPI, but not DOS.

Using these under DOS is miserable; I hate the timer interrupt. ;-0

#retrocomputing #scsi

@nicolaintini While SCSI host adapters can use interrupts to signal they need attention from the OS, that AI summary doesn't answer the question.

The question is SCSI assumes that the devices are only responding to requests from the host. So if you have a packet that gets received asynchronously, there is no active read command waiting for it. In that case, how does the device get the attention of the host to ask it to do a read command?

#retrocomputing #scsi

Does anybody know how SCSI Ethernet adapters were able to signal the OS that a new packet had arrived and needed to be processed?

With storage devices and scanners the host issues a command first and the SCSI device responds. But Ethernet is different in that packets arrive asynchronously, and not in response to a host command.

Network adapters can use hardware interrupts to handle incoming packets. How did SCSI Ethernet adapters do it? Was polling the only option?
