[~Lazarus~]

Lemme check a little stockpile when i get home (not confident but I might have one)

Otherwise try places like DABS or NOVATECH

Moral of this story is dont buy SCSI unless you are prepared

 

[Testin da Cable]

well, it can indeed be a bitch...but it truely is the dogs danglies

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Clearly Firewire HDs are in fact the dogs, we just got 4 in to act as audio drives, and they are amazing.

*strokes his new 160 gig firewire drive*

 

[Testin da Cable]

I'm going off to have a cry now. Thank you

 

[Wilier]

*hangs head in shame*

OK, so the drive is male, and the adapter is female.

I know, I know, Im a gimp.



But, hey. All I need now is me card to arrive.

*drums fingers*

I am, without doubt an IT guru in the making.

And Laz, unlucky fella.

Actually, the moral of the story is read the whole thread and you would notice that I didnt buy the drive.

 

[Testin da Cable]

There you go Summo, the solution is cheaper than I could have hoped. £15 from RS components (works paying, how kind )

I also picked up a NEW Adaptec 2940 ultra from ebay for £35. Just need a cable now, and Im on.

I am indeed the bargain basement man.

EDIT.
Struggling to find an 80pin male to male cable now.

Ho hum, the search goes on.

Heh heh. Just bought meself one of these from RS, Wilier to go with a new drive I just done aquired. Many thanks, marvellous.

 

[Wilier]

Dammit, I still havnt got the fecking thing in yet.
Time is not my friend.

 

[Summo]

Really? I got mine a couple of days after ordering it.

Working a treat, though as Nick mentioned earlier on, its only 16bit so forces the SCSI adapter to negotiate the drive speed down to 40MB/sec rather than 160MB/sec, though to be honest I haven't noticed any 'real-life' change.

 

[Wilier]

I just havnt got the time atm, gf wants decorating doing, children want attention, bike wants attention.

its not fair.

*weeps*

 

[Summo]

Oh, I see... I thought you meant it hadn't arrived yet...

I guess the moral of the story is that a wife and kids prevents installation of SCA/LVD adaptors. :/

Wise words.

bastage

 

[Testin da Cable]

speaking of bastages...my server seems to require something called 'processor power modules' two of them in fact.
something to do with voltage regulation for the xeons. anyone ever heard of them?

 

[Wilier]

Yeah, I have.[/lie]


Dont you wish you had my l337 IT skills.??
