In article dated 6'th of October 1989 03:46:01 GMT Chap Flack asks about
anyone knowing something about SCSI Host Adapters (HA) for the ISA (Std.
AT) Bus.
I'm using an Adaptec AHA 1542A as HA. Among it's features are:

Internal and external SCSI Bus (not differential driven!)
Sector interleave 0 support.
LED connector for flash-light-fanatics.
Up to 10 MByte/sec. transfer speed for ISA.
Up to 5 MByte/sec. transfer speed for SCSI.
Support for more than 2 physical drives (via DOS driver).
Support for 2 std. floppy drives.

The AHA 1540A is the same, but w/o the floppy controller. But why not
ask Adaptec about specific information, they are very kind and helpful.
I don't think there exists a standard protocol for the ISA-SCSI comm. I
hope this will help You a little. (The cost of the AHA 1542A is around
$600, i think).
