Looking for a SCSI-1 card that I can plug an old Amiga SCSI drive into my PC (or an older PC) - PCI or ISA, long as it works ;)

ubergeeknz: You know, I may have one, assuming I didn't finally chuck it out in the last e-waste collection. Let me check tonight.
FWIW, any SCSI standard card *should* be backward compatible as long as you can find the right cable.

I have an old SCSI card based on the NCR 53C810 chip.
It is SCSI-2. But, that is backwards compatible with SCSI-1. I don't think you will find true SCSI-1 anyway. The standard didn't really takeoff until SCSI-2.
It will definitely work with really old OSes (like WINNT, Windows 2000), will probably work with Windows XP and Windows 2003, and (remote possibility) might work with OSes as late as Windows 7 32-bit.
These were included with some Asus motherboards. So there is a short user guide at the end of a motherboard manual (.pdf format).
It looks like this.... (not my photo)...
Also, I have some disk trays (that fit in a 5 1/4 " slot). That way you can change the SCSI drive without taking you PC apart.
I can probably find you a cable and a terminator.
I don't need anything for the parts as long as you can pay shipping.
I live in Christchurch.

DizzyD: HA I am currently looking for the exact same thing.
I have some old DDS1 and DDS2 3.8mm DAT cartridges I would like to restore from the late 90's.
Problem is I don't have the drives or the PCI SCSI cards. I am hoping to find something somewhere and if possible install the PCI SCSI into an older PC running Linux. Then hopefully linux recognizes the DDS drives and I can restore the data.
PS: Don't forget those SCSI terminators.
Edit: I did come across these on ebay.
