Talk:Digital Storage Systems Interconnect

Category

We do not (yet) have a Category:DEC Mass Storage (although we do have Category:DEC Storage Controllers, as a sub-category of Category:DEC Peripherals), which is why this is in Category:DEC Peripherals. If I were energetic, I would set such a category up (and move a few other things into it, like MSCP). Jnc (talk) 02:12, 17 July 2022 (CEST)

Yes, please! - Or shall I do it? Vaxorcist (talk) 11:21, 17 July 2022 (CEST)

Done. Jnc (talk) 18:01, 17 July 2022 (CEST)

Connector image needed

Anyone have anything with DSSI connectors (on either a cable, or a drive, etc) they can take some pictures of? I have some SDI cables, etc, so I will do the SDI ones. Jnc (talk) 16:53, 1 September 2023 (CEST)

My picture File:HSD10 front.jpg shows the HSD10 DSSI-to-SCSI Bus Adapter with the typical (a little fragile) DSSI connectors. I could provide pictures of a DSSI cable, a DSSI terminator, and the (different) connector of a DSSI drive as well - what do you want? Vaxorcist (talk) 18:03, 1 September 2023 (CEST)

Oh, good; I did not know that was there. I can crop that down to the connector(s), and use that for one; I guess it would be good to have an image of the connector on a cable, too. Thank you!

What is the "the (different) connector of a DSSI drive"? Jnc (talk) 20:03, 1 September 2023 (CEST)

I'll take a photo of a DSSI cable & connector tomorrow. You can see a drive DSSI conector in File:RF30_PCB_54-18247.jpg on the right side; looks like SCSI or the like. I'll take a frontal photo of that one as well. There might have been other drive DSSI conectors with newer disk drives - I'll have a look for that. Vaxorcist (talk) 20:10, 1 September 2023 (CEST)
