I have one of these.. are they any good? I'm guessing it needs software as I cant get anything to be seen on it.
I cant even remember where I got it

NuPORT nubus card
- Thread starter SophieRose
- Start date
SCSI controller based on the 53C90A. It's a slightly better chip than the 5380 in older Macintoshes, similar to the later 53c94 and 53c96 that were widely used. Might be a bit better than the on-board SCSI of older NuBus system, but it is on the NuBus so might have higher latency.
You could dump the ROM to see if there's an embedded driver or not. If you can't use it, either there's no driver, or it's not compatible with whatever System you use (SCSI manager had several revisions, not all compatible with other versions' drivers...).

Did it come in a machine? Are you testing it in the same machine?

Nope, not seen that one before. Looks fun, though! Agreed, I'd like to see what's on the ROM...
Do you have drivers for it? They look similar enough that they probably had common software... or does it work without drivers?
Ooo thanks for that.. that'll help ☺
Ahh that links dead darn

Found another copy of the useful looking one from mac garden. Try this one.Ahh that links dead
Cheers @Phipli ☺
That external connector is used for Fast Narrow SCSI, so I'd think it will turn out be significantly faster than onboard SCSI.

Scuzzy SCSI - TidBITS
When it first arrived, everyone liked the Apple standard SCSI because it was relatively fast and easy to use. Unfortunately, it soon became clear that SCSI was not the answer to the Mac's problems and might even cause some of them
