About SCSI Controllers
Macintosh users may skip this section - SCSI is integrated into Macs.
This kit does not include a SCSI host adapter card (also known as a controller or SCSI
controller). A host adapter card provides the interface between your PC and various
peripheral devices. A wide range of cards are available with various levels of performance,
features, and price. If you plan to add peripherals such as scanners or external hard-drives
you will want a more capable host adapter. If, on the other hand you plan to use the host
adapter only to connect this CD-Recorder, a more economical device may be a better
choice.
SCSI cards from AdvanSys, Adaptec, BusLogic, Q-Logic, NCR are known to function
properly with this drive.
Visit http://www.yamahayst.com/techsup/recoscsi.html for the latest information on
compatible SCSI cards.
Once you have selected a SCSI host adapter card install it in your computer according to
the manufacturers directions.
