Hehehe. Nope. I think I paid $75 for the one I got for the ][gs I used to have. g.

Here's the two items I'm peddling off to trade for one or two ADB M-M cables. Shipping is free because these two items is rather light. If any of you want either one or both let me know. HP mouse, 46060A. Condition: light scuff marks, bit bent to one of two latches but *no* damage on that jack end, still can latch. Only two items, missing locking ring and has non-original HP mouse ball. Does roll freely when moved around viewed through plexglas. I know the spring loaded is pushing ball against two rollers. Do not have HP machine to test this with. ASIS, either try or for parts to fix other HP mouse. Digital Equipment Corporation, coiled cable w/ jacks part number: 17-02643-03, assembled in USA on that sticker. Still heat-sealed bag is well-handled but the cable itself is still new and undamaged. Also inside that still-sealed bag is piece of folded paper, appears to be diagram of a back of a keyboard w/ that cable. Hard to tell because I'm viewing that shadow from paper wrong side.. Also I have Compaq replacement motherboard for LTE 386s/20 still unopened in it's packaging like new and worn original box it came in. The bios version is -003 means it does support dual 8MB modules. This is rare few notebooks to have cache the system performance tests proves this. Yes, I looked through that anti-static package on that bios version with strong flashlight and lope and looked at quick reference. By the way, one used 8MB card for that LTE 386s/20, perfect match to go with this replacement LTE 386s/20 motherboard, it works in my former LTE 386s/20 bios -002 but according to quick ref says bios -003 is required to handle two 8MB modules. This card also work in all LTE Lite series but not LTE Lite4 series. Wanted: For this compaq parts or to buy, I'm looking for Mac logic board or stripped of down of its drives mac w/ motherboard and vram still in it. Interest of items I'm looking for: LC475, Quadra 605. In these two models, If that pair of vram sticks is missing it won't work and I do not have two vram sticks on hand. Or, HPV 1MB video card PDS for 7100 and 8100. Or, LC PDS ethernet daughterboard for LC, II, III and III+, performa 465/466. TP (jack type) but I could accept coax interface (BNC type). Looking to buy for my use: If you have crashed fireball ST scsi 3.2GB but good circuit board, I need it, I pay both shipping and small cost for it. I suggest ditch the HD pack, just that circuit board to save on shipping and for data security if that pack turned out good. Cannot be 1.6GB, 2.1GB, 4.8GB or 6.4GB due to programming on that circuit board is not same as 3.2GB. Only requirement these defectives should spin up and whack noisily it's heads silly, signifying disc pack is gone. The bad logic boards makes HD totally dead, no spin, no seeks. That is, you can save those if you find good boards for these like I'm doing to mine. Warrenty period on these fireball ST series is over or about running out. Cheers, Wizard

Anyone know of one that works on the NuBus models, particularly the Quadra 650? I love the SCSI drives but would love to adapt a cheap large size IDE into it for (essentially) play/learning.

Russ, Check out this URL: http://sldghamr.faithweb.com/ARS2000FW.html When I still was running a PowerCurve I looked into getting one of the Acard boards to put a 20gig drive in it. There's also someone that has used one of their cards in a PM6100 to use an IDE drive vice SCSI. It's a small circuit card that connects to the rear of the IDE drive and you plug the SCSI cable from the controller into it.

OUCH!! the price!? If you choose your sources well, you can get straight and straight used SCSI drives for handful of dirt. Even Cheaper if bought up the system that has choice of SCSI hd in it and rip it apart for parts and use that HD on other machines of your interest. But, that SCSI to IDE is very NICE idea at HD end especially when upgrading that decent machines as well as on oldie machines using SCSI and IDE drives laying around especially if your machine needs 10 GB or more while new SCSI drives cost is sky-high. Right now my ears is coming out used scsi drives I recently aquired. It was good timings and prices were RIGHT plus my budget is tiny. All of it is given over to staying fed myself and pay part of rent w/ my parents. To give you all of that samples: IBM, seagate 540MB $1ea from ASIS box. Barracuda 2.1GB $1 from same box. Runs hot as h*ll but sluggish due to very low density 210MB per platter x 10. Picked up pair of clean (very little dust) but used pull locally today, seagate ST41600N Elite 1 for 30 CDN. But that wattage rating on it YIKES! Traded some stuff to get quantum fireball ST 3.2GB and Micropolis 2.1GB. Bought up few Mac machines for dirt all has HDs of all sizes ranging from 160MB sleepy, wimpy ones, pair of prodrive 240 (excellent), one of that pair came out of a LC III for $5 from goodwill complete box has 4MB 72pin simm as well. From that source, I also found a unenhanced Mac II w/ original 1987 Q250 that old dog still working for $5. More to go on I say for now that's enough of a start for your ideas to score on cheap sources for scsi drives as well as assorted parts. Many drives I got are in canada some from USA, came through cheaper than paying for *one* SCSI to IDE adapter based on exhange rate! And really saves on shipping if you can find them locally especially on HDs honking big bricks of metal is heavy except for 1" scsi drives is inexpensive to ship while big ones are not. Few times I shipped broken ones for RMA process on 1" x 3.5" drives NY to Calif for 3 to 5 dollars USPS when I was in USA attending NTID at Rochester college. Cheers, Wizard w/ SCSI out numbered IDE drives I own.
