Back in the days when CDROM drives were very expensive and I had a brand new A3000: I used my old A500 with an A570 attached as CDROM 'server' via Parnet.

Late one night I had to print a page for the next morning, so I removed the Parnet cable, plugged in the printer cable and repowered the A3k - realizing that nothing happened and there was a smell of something burning in the air...

Of course I had plugged the printer to the SCSI port, situated very conveniently directly above the parallel port. Fortunately only two picofuses (pretty hard to get those days) and a vaporized board trace had to be replaced. And I added a blind DB25 plug to the SCSI port, just in case. ;-)

1. Sold my A1200 in 1997 and got Pentium something, dont remember anymore exactly. But i remember where the guy lives whom i sold my A1200.

2.Traded my A1200+Blizzard1230 50mhz. A cruel fate. 2001.

3. Burnt down a Delfina Flipper and FastATA 1200 (had too many beers that day). 2006. (got new ones).

Tonyvdb gets the prize for the worst calamity. Nobody can beat that!
I do feel sorry for pan1k too though. Did you at least get good bucks for it?
