>Hello Tom, Sorry if I offended you...my use of the word "run" instead of connecting, however, I'm glad you knew what I meant. You answered my questions perfectly and I thank you. However, about this connector to run my scsi cd burner. Can I get this on eBay as well or at a store? Would it cost a lot to get that PCM...card to "connect" to the internet? Thanks again.
