The return of ampfea.org ..

[Matt Seil]

So I obviously haven't used it, but:


https://www.vintagecomputercenter.com/product/rascsi


It's a SCSI adapter that lets you plug in a raspberry pi.  So, if it's 
like my Kurzweil, it'll read/write as fast as the attached drive.  ZIP 
drives were slow on the Kurzweil.  (100MB in about 1.5-2min)  HDs are 
quick.  Compact flash is slow.

Unless the A3K was already slow via SCSI.  That might be a hardware 
limitation based on the processor.  (Can't get around that.)
