[SunRescue] SCSI Cards wanted

[Robert Rose]

Bob,

If I get them, I'll definately have some spares.  I'll let you know when 
I've tested all the drives and have obtained another diff. SCSI card.

As Patrick has already pointed out, there are SCSI converters around, at 
the moment HiTechCafe has them on special for $10 ( 
http://www.hitechcafe.com/eshop/dept2.asp?dept_id=1 ), if you had several 
Diff controllers and wanted to make use of them.  At $10, I'd buy a couple 
on spec, but international orders from HiTechCafe are impossible (been 
there, done that). It'd be worth it to try adding the drives to my most 
recent bargain (AMI MegaRAID PCI card with 3 SE. SCSI busses for 
$US15).  They also have PPro 180 CPUs for $6 which would also go nicely in 
my $20 dual PPro motherboard that currenty has only one processor in 
it.  If only I was in the USA...

Rob.
