SCSI DRIVE COMPATIBILITY
« on: December 19, 2003, 03:13:38 PM »
Hi All,
          I am trying to find and buy some SCSI drives on ebay for my old 2000's.  I have noticed that it is getting increasingly harder to find the old 50 pin connector type SCSI drives.  I am wondering about compatibility issues between 50 and 68 pin drives.  I have some 68 to 50 pin adapters but I am not sure that is all that is needed.  I would like to hear from those of you that have had experience with adapting to the 68 pin or even the 80 pin drives and if it is possible what is required to do so and make them work.  In searching Ebay I have noticed that the availability of the older and smaller, (10GB ans less), drives are getting harder to find.  I am compelled to start collecting before it's too late.   I have several SCSI controllers for the 2000's.  I have a Blizzard '060 combo, a GVP '040 combo with GURU, a GVP '030 combo and two Commodore controllers.  Any and all advice and information regarding this subject would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Dave

Hi Stew,
         Thanks for the reply.  That will help a lot.  I will endeavor to acquire more drives.  The 10GB and less are getting harder to find as time goes by.  I suppose one could use bigger drives but what's the point if the computer can't see them?  Thanks again
