And then I opened it up (after 2+ years w/o incident).
See, I had to swap out a buggy CD-ROM drive (the tray would come out
and immediately go back in - you had to grab it to put a CD on it)...
Anyway, I wanted to throw in a new CD-RW drive ($40 after rebate -
24x10x40x), and guess what I found...
Two completly idle 68 pin (fast&wide?) SCSI channels on the MB - when I
built this machine up I didn't have any suitable SCSI drives, but now I
do!
Anyway, I like this box all over again now - anyone have affordable
sources for 68 pin internal SCSI cables?
TIA,
