Re: SCSI hard drives ? FOUND um ?

[Robert H . Baucom]

Thanks, You're the one that mentioned it. I find they have used ones 
9.1 GB for 4.95. However, the adaptor is to a Narrow 50 pin SCSI. Are 
the internal cables Narrow SCSI? I would guess they are as they are 
centainly narrower than the Centronics 50 pin SCSI connectors.

A couple of weeks back, someone mentioned they preferred the SCSI to 
the ATA drives as they lasted longer. I need an internal SCSI drive 
about 9 GB would be super.

Where can i find one that's not 86 GB and costs $789.00. Prefer 
Seagate or Lacie OR  "best of all" an IBM. The one in my PTP is 
getting noisy and the picture  on the monitor is getting shaky. I'm 
backing everything up, but it's got me nervous. Need another one for 
my highly modified PCP240.
eBay is a good suggestion. I have had good luck buying SCSI drives 
from Surplus Computers http://www.softwareandstuff.com/hdwstorage.html 
 You'll probably need an adapter as most are 68 or 80 pin, but those 
are inexpensive and work fine. My PTP has two of 36.7 GB units in it 
with 68-50 pin adapters and it runs just fine.
