| 1348.1 | N stands for SCSI, R stands for RLL? | COMET::CARPENTER | | Sun Jan 24 1993 07:42 | 4 |
| While you can use a ST277R with the Atari I'm pretty sure it's not a
SCSI drive so you would have to find an RLL driver for it from Supra or
some other source that deals with MFM and RLL drivers and Atari Host
Adapters.

| 1348.2 | St277 is RLL... | DETOO::HEARN | Time will tell... | Mon Jan 25 1993 07:58 | 8 |

Yes, the ST277R is RLL - also ST506/412 is the "interface" listed
by Seagate. Am I remembering correctly that the ST's Hard Disk
interface is ST506? (or am I just wishing :^)
More thoughts?

| Yes, the ST277R is RLL, and it indeed _is_ useable with the 1040. The
drive was built into a number of MEGAFILE 60 units.
I exchanged it against a SCSI drive some months ago, sold the drive,
and still have the controller lying around somewhere.

| 1348.4 | Is there hope? | DETOO::HEARN | Time will tell... | Thu Jan 28 1993 07:16 | 9 |

Peter,
I'd be willing to talk to you about the controller if you're
interested, but it sounds like you either use SCSI or RLL. Am I
understanding that correctly? I'd like to use them both (my SCSI
*and* the RLL). Is this possible?

| 1348.5 | Yes, RLL and SCSI work together. | FRUST::EDDF10::ECKEL | No sports. | Thu Jan 28 1993 09:24 | 21 |
| Hello Rich,
with a recent version of AHDI, there are no problems using a RLL and a
SCSI Disk at the same time, you only have to select different ID's for
the ACSI controller than for the SCSI devices. Internally, most SCSI
host adaptors for the ST simply translate ACSI signals to proper SCSI
(ACSI is Atari's poor man's version of SCSI - nearly compatible, but
not quite...). When I changed my disks from RLL to SCSI I did just that
to get my data to the new ones. I use an ICD host adaptor for SCSI.
Please send mail to me at DEC or to my Internet address
[email protected]
about the controller. If you use the IN address, please allow one to
three days delay, because it's a private dialing network that
exchanges mail only once a day. At the moment I am not always in the
office, so there may be some delay using the DEC account, too.
Regards, Peter.

| 1348.6 | SCSI & RLL - Yes! :^) | DETOO::HEARN | Time will tell... | Thu Jan 28 1993 09:35 | 8 |

Peter,
We'll continue about the controller "off-line" via MAIL.
Thanks for the information presented here - I'm sure others
will be able to use it too.
