Doh, I was looking at the 2x price not the single. I’d probably still go for the V6 since with the ability to store multiple virtual SCSI drives on an SD, or on multiple SDs, means that it could be handy to swap into other old machines that support SCSI-2 FAST or better (like the PowerMac 9600 I have a V5.something in). If you don’t really have anything like that then yeah, it’s hard to image the CMD will stress the performance of the V5.x boards Justin > On Feb 4, 2021, at 14:39, Raj Wurttemberg <rajaw_at_c64.us> wrote: > > Hey Justin, > The newer one is more expensive. > SCSI2SD V6 Rev. 2020d: $98 USD > SCSI2SD V5.2: $62 USD > > /Raj > > From: Justin <shadow_at_darksideresearch.com> > Sent: Thursday, February 4, 2021 3:06 PM > To: cbm-hackers_at_musoftware.de hackers <cbm-hackers@musoftware.de> > Subject: Re: CMD HD mechanism failure? > > It can mimic drive identifiers when you need to use it in something that really cares but yeah, it is otherwise pretty simple. Normally you can use adapters to convert between 50 and 68 pin etc. Almost everything should negotiate down to crappy older scsi. I don’t really get the not buying the newer one concept. If it costs less and will perform better if you use it in something else in the future, why would you want the slower earlier more expensive revision? > > Justin --Apple-Mail=_D606777D-63FD-42B0-8A79-EA444DCB00BB Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Doh, I was looking at the 2x price not the single.
