my little idea...

Well, from the overwhelming response already, it seems like a good one =) Now for an important issue: I have no real clue of electronics pathways, circuity (board level repairs), soldering, etc. nor am I knowledgeable of electrical currents, signalling or anything else necessary. I have quickly realized this. If I paid money is some form or means, would it be possible for someone to actually set this up in a provided 5.25" or 3.5" bay blank? I am fully willing to pay for components, shipping and labor. The concept is thus: 2 LED's for SCSI controller I/O, 2 LED's for Ethernet and 4 LED's for SCSI drives. Was hoping for SCSI LED's to be orange, Ethernet to be yellow and SCSI drives to be possibly blue. I would have to assume that even the blue LED's can be obtained reasonably from somewhere to make this work. Again, I am ignorant of electrical work and this is why I ask for help. The SCSI controller is an LSI Logic 22910, the Ethernet controller is an IBM PCI Ethernet adapter (AMD PC-Net II) and I think the SCSI drives for front panel LED's are pretty standard. I DO HAVE THE SHEETS ON ALL OF THESE. Anyone interested? Please email me in private: john_boffemmyer_iv(a)boff-net.dhs.org I am a computer technician and network troubleshooter. I am in NO way a rocket scientist or experienced avid hobbiest like some of my brethren here. Many of you have this knowledge and experience, please help if you can. ...BTW Doc, yes, I really do have too much time on my hands sometimes... when I am not commuting 2 hours each way to work and putting in 42hr+ work weeks. The weekends become a lull and boredom sinks in... that is when my damned mind rears it's ugly head and starts thinking (I hate when it does that).
