Time to clear the closets! I have one great condition ZDS ZWX-0248-62 (aka Z-248) unit as follows: *Case - has two external bays, 4 internal. Filler plate on one external *Power supply - standard Z-248 power supply in great condition *Motherboard - standard 286 Z-248 motherboard *Both drive bay inserts (the steel drive holders that slip in/out) *Hercules/parallel video board - use with a monochrome monitor for outstanding graphics, even in Win 3.xx *ZDS I/O board with 1 serial, 1 parallel *MFM and FDD controller (no cables) Should take both sizes of 3.5" and 5.25" floppies. *Memory expansion board - gives the system a total 640k base memory, 1024k addition ext. memory (allows Windows to run nice and fast!) The unit does NOT have a hard drive, floppy drive or the FD or HD cables. This saves weight in shipping since most of us have closets full of 360k, 1.2, etc drives and tons of MFM hard drives. How much? $10 plus actual USPS shipping. This mostly covers my time in packing it up and hauling it to the post office. (I've seen the memory upgrades go for $20 easy by themselves) It seems to weigh in the area of around 15 lbs. My zip is 40144 in case anyone wants to estimate shipping. Payment by money or cashier's checks only, prepaid. This is, if anything, a cheap source of upgrade and parts for someone with an in-use Z248. Add a floppy, HD and cables and you have a working unit for next to nothing as well. Should someone really need a floppy drive, all I can offer is a good original black faced 360k that came in the unit new, free with the unit, but it will add shipping weight. I can also toss in a Seagate MFM hard drive but since I have no cables the drive will not be guaranteed to work. I need this out of my way soon or it goes to the scrap heap. Let me know by January 2nd if you're interested, by direct email to RHBLAKE(a)BIGFOOT.COM Serious US/APO/FPO addresses only.

SCSI floppy controllers

by jim＠calico.litterbox.com

I wonder if these things would work with my GS and let me read PC disks with it? This sounds like a fun thing. :) What was that price again? -- Jim Strickland jim(a)DIESPAMMERSCUMcalico.litterbox.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vote Meadocrat!

SCSI floppies

by Innfogra＠aol.com

I have a bunch of new SCSI to floppy only controllers. They are of NCR manufacture. I got them from the Biin project, about 1991 so they would run at least 1.2s, maybe 1.44s. $5 each plus shipping. If there is any interest I will get more info. Replies should go off list. Contact me at whoagiii(a)aol.com. Happy Holidays. Paxton Hoag

A single SCSI bus is limited to 8 devices, but the host >adapter counts as one of them. So it can't be all one bus... > My slip-up. I re-checked the manual. It doesn't say how many devices can be connected at once, except the three drives and the HD. I just remembered the 0-9 ID setting wheel. I'll check on the controller tomorrow. -- -Jason Willgruber (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#: 1730318 <http://members.tripod.com/general_1>

I don't believe our list is that slow. it would be interesting to know why it was removed. also, i can't seem to find it again. i deleted the original message with the url, but i would think I could search on ebay and find it, but it ain't showing up. kelly

SCSI floppies

It's possible to make the drive autostart; it's some sort of settable option in the drive's firmware. The only program I've seen to manipulate it, however, is rzdisk on the MIPS-based DECstations. Using rzdisk under Ultrix, you can configure the drive to spin up on power on. I believe there's also a version of RZDISK available for Alpha VMS, but I've not encountered it there.
