the ultra worked fine but the others when the power is switched on
causes
smoke and burning.
Should just connecting them up cause that? i thought i had got the
correct
items.
Certainly not! Those adapters must be faulty.
I always buy mine here:
http://stores.ebay.com/STSI-COM_SCA-Adapters
They are a little more expensive, but always work perfectly. I've been
very impressed at how fast they arrive in Canada - usually next day - so
shipping time to the UK should be reasonable.

took a look, the items look the same, same maker maybe. would use them next
time if/when i can afford some more. the seller i got this lot from didnt
combine shipping so cost a lot of postage
the compaqs were free and i needed the drives to make them a bit more useful
as i recycle old computers and give em to poor people and already i gave
some away with some free kids edu software.
On a slight differant point.
the 1st drive i tried with the Ultra SCSI Adapter SCA 80 to 68 gave a ID 4,
yet that wasnt what i set it too, then when i tried the next hd with the
same adapter as before it was ID5.
The compaqs come with small scsi hds as standard so added them that way. |
