Al, the
auction link I posted was for a standard 50 pin to IDE interface
for $30. As of the time I posted the message he had 525 of them left.
Buy 'em now before you need 'em. :)
That's a **** good price! I don't need Narrow SCSI anywhere near as much as
I need newer versions, but I'm still considering buying some. This could be
a good way to get a cheap *BIG* disk on a VMS system for backing up the SCSI
disks to. Anyone happen to know how large of disks these support? Smaller
EIDE drives are getting harder to find. This might also be a good way to
add a CD or DVD burner to a system.
Here is a warning for anyone looking to use these
under VMS though, they do
not support Volume Shadowing. As such I'd really only recommend using them
for a disk to backup to.
You mean the HARDWARE doesn't support it, or VMS doesn't support it for
SCSI devices?
Any idea if this outfit combines shipping?
They're charging a pretty high
shipping cost for something like this.
I ordered three of them and got a "discount" of something like $18 for
the UPS shipping charge.
