The AVA™1502P SCSI HOST ADAPTER

The ActionCam PC version bundles the AVA™1502P SCSI host
Adapter from ADAPTEC. The AVA™1502 P is a 16 bit Plug and Play
ISA to SCSI host adapter for DOS and Windows systems. This board is
choosen because of his easy installation capabilities (plug-and-play)
and his external DB25 connection. The external connector can be
directly connected to the ActionCam SCSI cable. The SCSI board
supports asynchronous data transfer up to 2Mbytes/sec. which is
sufficient for the Actioncam camera. Another advantage is that only
one external SCSI device is supported so that no SCSI ID conflicts can
occur.
