Subject: ACB4000 on modern SCSI adaptor ?

Every so often I revisit my thoughts on connecting my ACB4000
bridge board and ADFS hard disk to a SCSI adaptor in one of my
PCs and seeing if I can read the data from the disk.

I'm aware of the 'software' challenges: the ACB4000 doesn't
support the SCSI "Inquiry" command so some OSes will ignore
it; and the sector size of 256 bytes is non-standard for
some OSes.

However is there a hardware challenge as well ?  I seem to
recall a message on the list where someone had smoke coming from
the 50-way SCSI cable - but was this as a result of connecting
the ACB4000 to a modern SCSI adaptor, or was it as a result of
connecting a modern SCSI disk to the 1MHz bus host adaptor ?
