I'm thinking about getting an HD for my
pride-and-joy C128DCR and a guy up
in Santa Maria sells mechs for SCSI drives that have the hardware for
connecting them up to the Commodore serial bus.
The problem with buying an SCSI drive at Fry's is (besides the fact that
no one at Fry's knows *anything*) I don't need 8GB of space :-) He said that
old SCSI drives out of ancient Macs and stuff like that, usually in the
20-80MB range, would do. I haven't made up my mind about this yet, but does
anyone out there have any old SCSI drives they might be persuaded to part
with? Like I say, the capacity doesn't have to be "large".
Actually I PUT small SCSI drives in old macs, the donor machines are
typically old PS/2 computers. I typically have everything from about 30 mb
up to a couple of GB, and 30 - 40 MB, 80 MB, and 160 MB 3.5" half height
IBM drives are $5, $8, and $12 respectively. Priority Mail for under 2 lbs
adds $3.55.
