What type of SCSI CD ROM for A3000?
« on: August 21, 2007, 03:55:52 PM »
Hi all

I'm after a SCSI CD ROM for internal install into my A3000. What type do I need? Anyone got an ebay/web link?

Thanks in advance

You can't fit a CD drive in the 3000 case, so you'll need an external unit.


But can i attach it to the internal SCSI cable and have the case off the computer? Otherwise can you link to an external one that will work - without any extra cables, config etc...  :-D

Hi all

Still looking for some answers on this. What type of SCSI connector will fit the back of my A3000 to allow connection of a SCSI CDROM?

Can someone link to say an ebay auction or an internet shop so I know what to look for. Don't want to buy the wrong one obviously!

Thanks again

the cable with this looks like 50 pin for box end and centronics type for computer end, so you would need to change it, probs a couple of pound from a computer shop.



Would it not be easier to get a Centronics to 25pin cable?

Thanks
