    Hey Spectre,

    just wondering if your apple's use the SCSI interface and if you would
    happen to have any terminating resistors spare?

    Paying $24 for postage on a $2-4 part is rather crazy....

    Wellllll, yes and maybe. I think I've only got the one SCSI Bus terminator handy, she's a powered pass through 50pin centronics job. Still got two SCSI drives.. I actually don't have a SCSI card though, I'd give my first borns left testicle to find one though. I believe I still have the resistor packs that fit into the HD's themselves though. Question is, does your device require the 3 piece or the 2 piece set? If none of this works for you I may
    be able to lay hand to another one.

    Won't work #-(

    PC or Apple scsi card? If pc then I have two spare Adaptec 2940's and your welcome to one for postage cost.

    I need three sets of 8 pin packs. To go into the Amiga 3000 MB I'm trying to debug.

    I don't have an Apple SCSI card :/ I do have a PCI one sitting in my desk draw though. Trouble I have at the moment, is having gone through all the PCI nics looking for something, I'm coming to the opinion that the PCI slots on these systems are pretty much just for looks :(

    Ok.. lemme see... I'll pop a photo up of what I have, but I think I'm seeing unless I got this wrong... :) 1 set of 3 x8pin packs. Of which I have 2

    I've never ran into PCI slot's having issues, but card to go into them
    yes.. Very anoyaing.

    The ones on the left of that photo are what I'm looking for.

    I don't think I've ever had a failed PCI card... although I had some rather delicate Wifi cards at one time... but I used to think PCI was great, then we had the voltage change, which caught me out as I was still using BX mobo's at the time...
