    SCSI woes-

    Yes , but they are rare and could be costly.

    IIRC they where still qite popular till Pentium 4 but as you see there is solution for Quad core as well.

    I would worry more about Win95 compatibility with newer CPUs/mobos. I believe Drivers can be a issue with newer system.

    Call company who made those special boards and ask them what drivers they support.

     

    Personally i would get ride of SCSI stuff and install ATA drive in this place. There is a chance combination of lastest generation ISA ATA controller and ATA drive could give you possibility of using bigger HDD's

    It will be slower but easier to find parts.

    Should be wise to buy some spare parts in case this have to be replaced again

    I dont think it going to work this way. You have to chk what maximum capacity of HDU scsi controller can work with. If you exceed that most likely PC will not see drive due to outdated bios in mobo/controller.

     

    What slot is DAT tape controller working with? Vesa? ISA??

    Whats the name/model of scsi controller

    Name / model of mobo

     

    it would help a lot

     

    second thought.

    If this mobo have regular ATA drive connector you can hook up regular ATA drive . SCSI or ATA does not matter for system or DAT tape reader

    If controller is build in in to mobo and you have free ISA slot you can add TA controller and hook up regular ATA drive.

    As long as this PC can work in LAN you dont have to worry about drive capacity cuz you can reroute all saved files in to network drive.

     

    you can also try this one

    mby it will work with newer PC

    but i think buying ATA drive could solve your problem without pain.

    Its more like evolution not revolution.

    Till all big trucks, most of the cargo transportation and heavy equipment is run on petrol there will be no real revolution , just slow change in next 20-30 years.
