Manufacturer Mainhattan Data, Germany | Date 1993 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface parallel port |
- SCSI adapter
- converts the parallel port signals to SCSI signals
- a 5×4×1 cm box
- connects to the parallel port and provides a DB25 SCSI connector - the parallel port is not passed through
- some versions get power from the RGB port, others from the mouse/game port - in both cases the port is passed through
- very slow - the parallel port limits the data transfer
- can reboot, but cannot autoboot
- RDB compatible
- compatible with the A2088XT and A2286AT with BridgeBoard software from or after 23.11.88.
