[Techtoolslist] 9100FT RTC

[Brad Gass]

I *think* Tony was referring to the PCMCIA to SCSI solution being obsolete (which it is).

I admit, when I first read that, it took it as saying the SCSI2SD solution was obsolete and went "huh?" - and then read it again, "has obsoleted" not "has been obsoleted".

But, I'm not sure I'd agree with your take that RaSCSI has obsoleted SCSI2SD, but that's another discussion altogether :)

How is the image obsolete? I used it on my scsi2sd . ( FYI, scsi2sd is also
obsolete now, everyone is going to RaSCSI )
