Need disk for Pacific Peripherals Overdrive SCSI host adapter

ChristianS · 11 December 2018, 08:02

I got a Pacific Peripherals Overdrive DMA SCSI host adapter (controller) for the A2000. I need a copy of the installation disk/ODUtils. This controller does not support RDB/SCSI Direct, so the original software is required to set up (auto booting) harddisks.

There was a recent eBay auction for one of these which included a software disk. Maybe you could try asking the seller if they could pass on a message to the buyer???

Which version ROM does your board have? There are at least two versions and the later one does kind of support RDB.

WinUAE just added support for Overdrive emulation by the way, which could make setting up and testing a working partitioned image file much easier than on real hardware.

Please dump and zone the disk! :-)

And also dump the EPROM from the controller board.
