[rescue] Converting a 911

[Lionel Peterson]

Robert,

I take it your interest is really in gutting the wiring and installing
a 4-way 68 pin wiring harness?

I would think a more reaonable approach would be to use 68 to 50 pin
adapters, but then you lose that "wide" SCSI... By the time you gut and
re-wire the 911, you might be better off (time/effort involved) in
getting the right case (one that can handle 4x 68 pin drives, or 4x SCA
(depending on what you have lying around)...

I have a 4x 2 Gig Seagate 911 case, it is *quite* loud - if I locate
low-cost SCA->50 Pin adaptes, I would consider dropping some cheap SCA
drive in instead, but retain the existing 50 cabling...
