I love microchannel equipment. 8-)
I did an MCA pick-up today, entirely free. Got a set of sealed little TR
adaptors, various IBM hard drives, different protocol adaptors, two 8514/A
adaptors, a Future Domain SCSI adaptor, a RAM expansion card, XGA2 ID plugs,
as well as a huge load of ISA junk and a Xircom parallel Ethernet adaptor. One question: What would a CD-ROM INTERFACE CD-IF35-A
connect to? It's got a
matching 40-way ribbon cable, but I assume it's some silly
Mitsumi/Panasonic/whatever interface.
Most probably.
Question 2: I got a little black plastic box by IBM
with one DB25m, one DB25f
and one DA9f. I suppose this is some kind of test equipment, but what?
It's a serial/parallel wrap plug. The advanced tests on PS/2 reference
diskettes need them to do port testing. It's a handy thing to keep
around.
BTW, I'm also very fond of MCA. Just glad I
haven't got on my own desktop. =)
Why not?
Peace... Sridhar
