Hi, All, I was cleaning out a pile of stuff left behind when one of my brothers moved to California and ran across what looks like an IBM Aptiva 2142 Media Console - a pop-top CD-ROM and floppy box with a 50-pin cable back to the main box... http://www.systemsalchemy.org/howto/aptiva/intro.html Formerly, there appears to have been a lot of Aptiva information at http://wymette.home.att.net/aptiva.htm but the site is gone (I think AT&T just stopped serving "home pages" recently) and archive.org isn't pulling up anything on that old site at the moment. Another referenced site was http://members.rogers.com/airchan/ (which is available at http://web.archive.org/web/20021213012640/http://members.rogers.com/airchan/) happens to have had a pointer to the original IBM hardware manual - http://web.archive.org/web/20021201092020/http://members.rogers.com/airchan… which at least mentions how to dismantle the Media Console. console is an IDE unit not SCSI, so I _think_ that while the connector may resemble a SCSI-1 cable (50-pin "Blue Ribbon" connector) it may not carry SCSI signals. There was at least one reference I found to a "host card" in the Aptiva that was not being described as a SCSI card, but I couldn't find anything that states it definitely is or is not SCSI. I don't happen to have an Aptiva, but if someone out there does, I'd rather it go to someone than get broken down for recycling at Free Geek Columbus (which is where it will end up if it's unloved). I would want 1.2X actual shipping cost from 43202 (box, packaging, incidentals, etc). I see a number of places selling them for about $30 plus S&H, but I doubt they are flying off the shelves at that price. Cheers, -ethan
