I've been poking around inside my HP9000/C180
machine (1x SE Fast-10 narrow SCSI, 1x FWD integrated, 1x FWD GSC card).
I am aware that this machine is still slightly stretching ontopic, but the diff part is
definitely ontopic.
Currently, it has 1x4GB and 1x2GB, which leaves little free space with a very off-topic
OS (HP-UX 11.11)
diff SCSI drives, while technically superior to SE, are difficult to find, so I'm
looking at alternates.
Looking at the machine, the SCSI busses appear to have a standard SCSI chip feeding into
differential
drivers. Is it possible to gracefully remove the diff drivers and convert it to
single-ended operation?
I have 6? (I think it is 6) 2G HP SCSI diff drives (3.5 inch form
factor, 1.6" high).
I'm not doing anything with them... make an offer (you could offer $0 if
you like,
but I'd be hard pressed to move to do anything real fast at that price
:-) ).
