I spotted some 3 1/2" form factor drives that I think may be SCSI
drives of the narrow "SCA" persuasion. I noted them mainly because they
have a small looking black plastic connector similar to a centronics
connector, with what appears to be a central male bar with contacts on it.
It rang a bell about the discussion about such connectors in some
Sparcbook laptops.
Though the form factor is totally useless, it would be interesting if
the bus was the same, and one could fab up a cable out of a dead
sparcbook to such a drive. Just thinking.
I have to grab the drives tomorrow and see what they are. No idea at
all about whether they work, but they have been around for a long time.
Also I have a line on a huge amount of recent junk, and am listing it on
epay. It is way too new (except for technically some 2001 dual xeon
dell serverboards).
contact me off line for some quantum high capacity tape drives if
interested. There are 17 to be had, and a deal on them.
