Hi, some time ago I read about a converter between SCSI and ethernet. Unfortunately, I cannot remember, where I read this article. Since I am *now* desparetly in need of such a device, I was wondering, if anybody knew, where to find these, how much I would be charged per device and, if there is any decent technical documentation... Please send e-mail, for my news feed does not always work reliably... Thanx in advance Peter Krueger (pkr@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de) -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | pkr@cip-s01.informatik.rwth-aachen.de | | Wer laechelt anstatt zu toben, ist immer der Staerkere. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I hate to be so stupid, but what would this device do? SCSI is a disk (and other peripherals) controller. Are you looking for an Ethernet adapter that connects to the SCSI? I never heard of anything like this. What gets converted? Tom Benham

Well, SCSI is an I/O device like others, too. Such "converters" are occasionally found on Macintosh systems, since the early Macs were closed systems without the opportunity to build in extensions like network interface cards. Have a look at some Mac-oriented magazines...

Uses the standard large db connector, with an RJ45 output for use in a TP lan environment. -- \ Bryan D.

Asante makes an Ethernet<-->SCSI device for MacIntoshes. You'd need to write
a driver for the SCSI adapter unless you are indeed hooking up to a
MacIntosh.

I have in my paws a sales brochure I received from Adaptec in Nov 1988 describing a SCSI to Lan (ethernet)box they called the "NODEM". I kind of recall a lot of advertisements of the device, and then a quiet cancellation.
