Hi guys.
Someone had this question, and although I found some info from old CSA2
posts I thought I'd check if anyone knows any more. For instance how
many Xebec controller cards where there, and did they just differ in
firmware?
"What should I look for in a controller card? I've read that the Sider
was SASI (the forerunner of SCSI) and that the RamFAST card by
Sequential Systems would be a good choice for a controller (assuming I
can find one). I've also read that Apple produced a SCSI controller for
the //e and //gs but I am uncertain if that card would work with a SASI
drive (assuming the drive is SASI)."
The original question and my current answer are here:

-apple-iie-to-an-external-sider-hard-disk-drive
Cheers,
Nick.
