So I was going through the basement looking for a laptop ram module and came across some old cards in the "idk what these are box". They had obviously been put in there before I knew what scsi was. What I found was:
- 2x Adaptec AHA-2940UW PCI to 68-pin High-Density SCSI(Externally)
- 2x Adaptec AHA-2940U2W PCI to 68-pin High-Density Ultra2 SCSI(Externally) and 68-pin High-Density Ultra2, 68-pin High-Density Wide Ultra SCSI, 50-pin High-Density Ultra SCSI(Internally)
- 1x Adaptec AHA-1542CP (16bit)ISA to 50-pin, high density(Externally) and 50-pin flat cable(Internally)
- 1x Some length I didn't measure db25m to db25m cord
The 1542cp has what I need for my jaz drive, but alas, I don't have ISA on my Dell cmt 7100. If anyone wants any of the PCI ones let me know, as I really don't need them.(Read:not for free)
😛b: Next is the FrankenLat. From 3 Dell Latitude c8xx I managed to build a working one. I got a floppy module to work in it, and a battery that lasts about 10 minutes. It still won't take an optical drive, and I have no HDD for it. At 1.13 ghz, it runs dos from floppy pretty nice 😱) EDIT- I found out that it won't recognize an optical drive until it recognizes a HDD. The HDD requries a special caddy(which explains why my standard 2.5 ide's wouldn't fit), which I ordered on eBay for like 4$ 😀
Lastly the psu for my quicksilver '02 finally arrived, so wish me luck on that.

So I ordered a second 128mb RAM module a few days ago for 4$. I popped it in and it didn't recognize it. I took out the old one and using only the new one, booted it up. To my surprise the new chip was 256mb. It didn't recognize it the first time since I had a smaller chip in slot 1 and bigger in slot 2. So, eBay's loss and my gain. ...I might just order another "128mb" chip from them...
