This one is of special interest to Tim Shoppa, but I figured the rest of the vax lovers here would be interested too. I just ordered an external SCSI cable for my VaxStation 3100 model 40 - which everyone said was terribly expensive due to it being a wierd connector. I ordered it from 1-800-digital and they want $58(us) + tax. For those with 3100 model 40s (it changes from model to model) the part number is 17-02-008-02. Generally speaking this is the second time I've ordered formerly VERY expensive parts through 1-800-digital and gotten them for a fraction of the price people were quoted in the bad old days. If you have DEC hardware and need some wierdo proprietary pieces for it - simms, cables, etc - I would encourage you to call them and get a current quote on the prices. It's been speculated that what's happening is Compaq is unloading the spares for post-end-of-life DEC stuff, so you might want to do it soon. -- Jim Strickland jim(a)DIESPAMMERSCUMcalico.litterbox.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vote Meadocrat!
