WTB: 50 pin SCSI harddrives

[doctorq]

I'm on the lookout for a couple of 50 pin SCSI drives, in the range of a couple of 100 MBs and up to 3-4 GB.

Anyone have some laying around??

Sending you an email in a short while.

I'm aware of all the adapters available, but I want ordinary 50 pin drives. The reason for this is that the drives needs to be mounted on Zorro hardcards, and even with the smallest adapter I have around here, a 68 pin harddrive doesn't fit very well on the hardcards.

I wouldn't consider putting a drive back on a hard card as they get way to hot to be hanging around on a piece of pcb.

Not necessarily, an A2000 with a GVP hardcard will be cool enough. Going external is a bit extreme.

Thanks, obviously I'm interested, so please get back to me on the sizes you have, how many you have, and how much postage will be.

@all

This thread is about 50 pins drives specifically, and for a reason. I am aware of all the other drive types available and all the adapters available as I have them already. I want to use the hard cards as the designers intended, which means mounting a 50 pin drive on the hard card. A 68 pin drive with adapter works fine with the controller, but doesn't fit 100%, as the adapter will be forced upwards by the cable.

Yeah, that's though luck, but I'm confident that something will show up :-)

None of the ones writing me in the first place seems to be able to help me out, so I'm still looking :-(
