I have finished my SCSI to SMD drive using a 5580 and a m2312 drive. The
controller works with the atari or ICD host adapter. The drive is a 20ms avg
seek time and has a data rate of 10.22 megbit. I had to write a few programs
to do the first format to set up the drive then I formatted it using the
supra utilitys. It can autoboot and is pretty fast. I seem to have a bottle
neck some where because I can only "blast" 449 pictures per second. If anyone
would like more info I can down load the program examples to send the mode
command and format to set the drive up for atari formatters. They are written
in assembly.
