The one we used was WD1003A-SCS. I don't know if they make more. It has poor documentation which caused us many hours of work trying to figure things out. You can optionally purchase several books to go with the controller. You may want to do this. 2) Ephraim Vishniac has written a standard SCSI driver which he has made available. It is available by FTP from the INFO-MAC archives at sumex-aim and by using the TELL command through bitnet from MACSERVE@PUCC. You need to get the file UTILITY-SCSI-FORMATTER-INSTALLER.HQX.2. If you have problems Ephraim can be contacted and is very helpful. Sorry, I don't have his current email address.
