ReA4091: Video and pre-order for the reconstruction of the Fast SCSI2 controller
During the Vintage Computer Festival East, which took place from April 22 to 24 at the InfoAge Science and History Museums in Wall Township in the USA (see also the video talk of former Commodore employees), Stefan Reinauer gave a talk about the project of rebuilding the Fast SCSI2 controller A4091, which he and Chris Hooper successfully accomplished. The project, christened "ReA4091", lasted four months and was accomplished with the help of an original copy purchased at an eBay auction.
The YouTube video, which has been available since the end of April and was recorded by Robert Bernardo, has been edited again by him and now has a much better sound quality (see title link).
As Stefan Reinauer explained to amiga-news.de, they are "still busy building cards and debugging". In parallel, the open source driver is being written, which will replace the original ROM. Currently, 30 cards are being built. On the corresponding project page you can not only find more information, but you can also express your interest in building a card. The price is about 225 Euro (without shipping).
